Curraheen Park sees Tradition make it look so easy in Barrys Tea Open 750 decider

Tradition (Droopys Scolari-Flying Winner), bred, owned and trained by the Cashel maestro Pat Dalton ran out an easy winner of the Barrys Tea Open 750 final worth €5,000 before a big crowd at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

A five runner race due to the absence of the injured Joyful Dribbler from trap six, those who supported her at 4/6 never had a moments worry as she came away in front from her rails draw going two lengths clear as they ran to the third bend.

Extending this to four as they ran the back straight there was slight cause for concern when they came into the home straight as another fine stayer Ballymac Bonnie came flying through from fourth place to take up the chase but staying is Traditions strong point and she crossed the line with two to spare over Bonnie with Beaming Coyote another three and a half away in third in a fine 41.29 (.20 fast).
