Thari triumphs in bizarre circumstances

CHAMPION jockey Paul Carberry experienced the highs and lows of his precarious profession at Fairyhouse yesterday, taking the riding honours with a double before being stood down, badly bruised, following a fall.

Carberry was gifted the three runner Powers Gold Cup when long odds-on favourite Adamant Approach, apparently in command, crashed out of the race at the second last fence, hampering his stable companion One Night Out.

This bizarre incident presented Carberry on Thari with a straight forward task and, having looked destined for third place, he stayed on to claim the handsome winner's prize of 55,644.
