Windsor Boy justifies hefty market support

EDWARD O’GRADY and Norman Williamson continued their tremendous run when Windsor Boy justified hefty market support with a smooth success in the Comeragh Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

The Mtoto gelding was a smart three-year-old when trained in England by Paul Cole, taking second behind Millenary in the Chester Vase and finishing runner-up in the Italian Derby. He very much lost his way as a four-year-old, however, but O’Grady has nursed him back to be a decent sort in the making.

Windsor Boy was backed from 11-8 to 9-10 and never gave his supporters a moments concern. Williamson allowed him lead coming away from the fourth last and this sweet-jumper made his only semblance of an error two out.
