Snowy Free can claim maiden success

Snowy Free can take the opening race of 2016 at Curraheen Park for Eamonn and Rachel Morton.

The July pup hasn’t perfected the art of trapping and yet, off a slow start, was just behind the pace as they raced the opening bends. The bitch was very badly baulked early in the backstraight and, in the circumstances, did well to finish within hailing distance of the winner.

Avoiding an early clash with Ashgrove Shadow would seem key to the selection’s chance and if she can do that, she looks good enough to earn her maiden success.
