Hanabad worth the wait

WAIT for the last, the Richmond Race over a mile, at Leopardstown tonight before having a half-decent bet and row in with John Oxx’s Hanabad.

The son of Cadeaux Genereux, a useful juvenile, has been lightly raced this season but now looks poised to strike. He certainly indicated his turn was imminent with a cracking effort against the potentially high class Mingun at the Curragh last time.

Ultimately, the selection was no match for his rival in the closing stages, but ran a brave race, before going down by two and a half lengths. This appears decidely easier!
