Euro Leader puts up tremendous weight carrying performance

RUBY WALSH rode his second winner of the Kerry National, he scored on Banasan last year, when Euro Leader put up a tremendous display to defy top weight at Listowel yesterday.

The progressive and imposing seven-year-old had a difficult task attempting to defy a 13lbs penalty incurred at Tralee previously, but answered every call from his pilot.

Euro Leader displayed real courage in the closing stages to beat Monterey Bay, who was in receipt of a whopping 25lbs, by a neck.
