‘Amazing’ Markason brushes aside rivals

“HE'S an amazing horse”, exclaimed Gerry Cully, after Markason had taken the Sunnybank Hotel Handicap Chase at Tramore last night before a huge attendance of 6,500.

Explained Cully: “He fell in a hurdle race at Limerick five weeks ago and had to be stitched. He then had to stand in his box for three weeks.”

When front-running Mossland ran out at the second last the challenging Irish Stream was left in front, but he had no answer when Davy Condon launched his challenge on Markason at the final fence.
