Relentless Comeout Russell smashes track record

The final of the Rockybay Munster Hurdle produced a worthy winner as Comeout Russell smashed the track record with a tremendous display.

Trained by Pat Kiely for the Golden Spoon Syndicate, Kilworth, he proved popular at 4-6 and justified those odds in great fashion.

Impressively fluent over every hurdle — he never had to break stride at any of the obstacles — the son of Westmead Hawk and Lady Deise led Whittymadmohally by a couple of lengths racing to the first turn, and doubled his advantage down the back.
