Power celebrates with a winner

JUST hours after returning from Australia, where he starred as a member of the Irish team in the annual Jump Jockeys Challenge, Robert Power celebrated his homecoming when partnering Star Horse to an all-the-way win in the Athleague Novice Hurdle at Roscommon last night.

Trained by Jessica Harrington, Star Horse was following-up a maiden win at Wexford, recording his third win from four career starts.

But he had to dig deep on the run-in to hold the challenge of the flattering Mango Catcher by two and a half lengths. A ‘Winners of Two’, perhaps at Tralee next week, will be next on Star Horse’s agenda.
