Quinmaster runs his Tote Mile rivals ragged

JOHNNY MURTAGH rode a masterful race from the front to guide Quinmaster to success in the inaugural running of the Tote Mile EBF Handicap, formerly the McDonogh Handicap, at Galway last night

The in-form pilot clearly had no worries regarding the grey colt's stamina and set a scorching pace throughout. His nearest pursuer was the gambled on Dermot Weld-trained favourite Absolute Image, 9-2 to 3-1, but nothing could ever get in any sort of blow at the son of Linamix.

He lengthened in tremendous style in the straight, crossing the line two and a half lengths to the good.
