Game Inexorable upholds family tradition

MARK GRANT is in virtually unstoppable form at present and the Co Tipperary-born jockey brought his tally for the Limerick Christmas festival to five by partnering a double at the popular Greenmount venue yesterday.

Grant completed his brace aboard David Wachman’s Inexorable in the featured Grade 3 Dorans Pride Novice Hurdle. A half-brother to the mighty Best Mate, Inexorable went for home with five flights remaining.

Moscow Court was the eventual winner’s closest pursuer from three out. However Inexorable, which is owned by Ryanair supremo Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud, readily responded to Grant’s urgings to triumph by a neck from Moscow Court.
