Carberry’s patience pays off on Shady Lad

ENDA BOLGER’S Shady Lad, recent winner of a point-to-point, found plenty for Paul Carberry pressure to land the Molony Cup Handicap Chase at Thurles yesterday.

Carberry rode a patient race, gradually creeping into the contest and then powering the five-year-old into the lead after the second last.

Shady Lad stayed on strongly to beat Coolnahilla, who was decidedly unlucky. The grey was holding every chance when making a dreadful blunder two out.
