Scarthy Lad promises of better to come with impressive win

CONOR O’DWYER completed a double at Thurles yesterday, enjoying armchair rides aboard Scarthy Lad and Eskimo Jack.

Scarthy Lad, trained at Clonakilty by Thomas O’Leary, landed some big bets in the Clonoulty Maiden Hurdle, hardening from 5-2 to 11-8 favourite.

Owned by the 10-member Ballinascarthy Syndicate, he did the business with the minimum of fuss.
