Pacolet pounces for repeat success

PACOLET, given a tremendous drive by Danny Grant, repeated his success in the contest a year ago when sweeping through late to take the Sporting Press Tipperary Perpetual Cup Handicap at Clonmel last night.

Grant was in no hurry and the winner had a wall of horses in front of him approaching the home turn.

Star Wood was now getting the best of the battle with Kahuna, but Pacolet powered up towards the outside and was in control close home to score by half a length.
