Ardkill Way the highlight of Murphy hat-trick

TRAINER Shane Murphy's Ovens, Co Cork, kennel is quickly establishing itself as an operation to be reckoned with and the young handler struck again at Curraheen Park on Saturday night when bagging a treble, including both semi-finals of The All Plast Sales Unraced Stake.

Ardkill Way remained unbeaten, albeit from only two starts, when taking the second semi-final in a fastest of the night 28.79.

The 4/6 chance was fast away from his inside berth and, having led into the bend, came right away in the closing stages for an eight and a half length success over Movealong Alfie.
