Callow Lake strikes a blow for four-year-olds

THE rapidly improving Callow Lake struck a blow for the four-year-olds when leading his rivals a merry dance in the Nire Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

He was a big order morning prices, from 9-2, but a drifter on-course, as some major wagers went west on Tuppenny Cody.

Tony Mullins’ gelding was a huge punt from 5-2 to 5-4 but, after attempting to make all, dropped away tamely when headed by Callow Lake four out.
