Improved jumping seals it for Rockstown Boy

CHARLES BYRNES’ Rockstown Boy was much too good for Christy Roche’s The Boys In Green In the EBF Novice Hurdle at Tralee yesterday.

There was very little pace on in the early part of the race and Barry Geraghty grabbed the contest by the scruff of the neck when allowing Rockstown Boy stride on shortly after half way.

The winner made his only semblance of an error when awkward at the third last and was almost joined over the next by The Boys In Green.
