Mixed luck for O’Sullivan at Mallow

IT was a day of mixed luck for Kinsale Rd., Cork owner Dermot O’Sullivan at the Mallow meeting.

He had to withdraw I Heard So from the final of the Derby Trial Stake, because of injury, giving Liam Dowling’s August pup, Ballymac Apsent, a walkover.

But O’Sullivan gained more than a degree of compensation when he took the Oaks Trial Stake with Vacume Countess, who got the better of the Pat Norris trained All Too Beautiful, who changed sides.
