Galway Hurdle unlikely to be on Blue Away’s agenda

PAT HUGHES, whose Cache Creek bolted in at Leopardstown, landed the featured Murphy’s Handicap Hurdle at Killarney last night with Blue Away.

Fears that the trip round this track would prove much too short for the six-year-old proved unfounded, as he quickened and stayed on far better than the opposition, in the hands of Jim Culloty.

Callow Lake led before the straight, but was challenged going to the last by both the winner and Portant Fella.
