Head Waiter serves uph tasty result for punters

THERE were plenty of smiling faces at Killarney last night after the Eugene O’Sullivan-trained Head Waiter had landed the valuable Kerryman Long Distance Handicap Hurdle, particularly among those who visited their local bookmaker in the morning.

Head Waiter was on offer as high as 20-1, which really was an astonishing price about a horse who was still bang in contention when falling two out at Cork previously.

Paddy Flood gave him a very positive drive and kicked hard early in the straight. Although Bothar Na was closing on the leader near the finish, he was never going to make the concession of 19lbs.
