Vintage Carberry springs National shock on Clipper

PAUL CARBERRY and Noel Meade continued their terrific recent run of success when Star Clipper sprang a 16-1 shock in yesterday’s Anglo Irish Bank Munster National Handicap Chase at Limerick.

The duo were on the mark with Harchibald at Tipperary the previous Sunday and, of course, Always surprised Strong Project and Ansar at Gowran Park on Saturday.

This was vintage Carberry, nursing and cajoling a horse who often finds it difficult enough to put his best foot forward.
