Hassett double at ‘local’ meeting

BRIAN HASSETT kept his many supporters happy by partnering a double at his local Co Clare Hunt point-to-point meeting at Dromoland yesterday.

Hassett initiated his two-timer aboard Jason Titley’s One Cool Cookie (7/4) in the opening four and five-year-old geldings maiden.

The four-year-old One Cool Cookie powered to the front after the third last of the 14 obstacles and seemed to have Cul An Ghabhainn’s measure when that one departed the scene at the second last. One Cool Cookie ultimately beat newcomer Eight Fifty Six by 20 lengths.
