Light On The Broom sweeps his rivals aside

LIGHT On The Broom, a faller in two of his previous four outings over fences, produced an impeccable round of jumping to land the Killinan Beginners Chase at Thurles yesterday.

Commented trainer, Gerry Stack: “I thought he might have done it before now. Mark gets on very well with the horse, he doesn’t interfere with him.
