Pennys worth watching

PENNYS WORTH made an eye-catching debut at Curraheen Park in heat one of the Kasco Stakes on Saturday night.

Coming in as a reserve for Game Mate, Pennys Worth, winner of three of her four races all at Clonmel made short work of her rivals. Fast away, she led Shift Razzali into the bend. Blue Eyed Escort took up the chase early in the back straight but never held out any hope of getting to Pennys Worth, a half lengths winner in 28.57 85 spots better than her previous best.

Chipp Lad, after two wins over the sprint trip, successfully moved up to the standard trip in heat 2. The John Kiely trained dog shaded the bend from Jamaican Danny. The latter then ran wide between bends, hampering third placed Gowlane Silver in the process. This left Chipp Lad clear of Burgess Kewell and although the latter ran on strongly from halfway he had too much to do and went under by two lengths in 28.76.
