House party as Central makes it fourth time lucky

CENTRAL HOUSE, well beaten by Rathgar Beau on the three previous occasions the pair clashed, emphatically reversed the placings in the Grade Two O’Connell Logistics Hilly Way Chase at Cork yesterday.

“He’s a good horse and a better horse this year”, said Hughes, as Roger Loughran brought the eight-year-old back to the winner’s enclosure.

Central House, conqueror of Moscow Flyer at Navan, made most of the running, except for being headed briefly four out by Mariah Rollins.
