Kingsmaster’s searching gallop too much for rivals

SEAN FLANAGAN, yet another of the up-and-coming young jockeys in Ireland at the moment, was seen to particularly good effect when taking the Kerry Spring Water Hurdle aboard Kingsmaster at the final stage of the Listowel Festival yesterday.

He set a searching gallop on Lar Byrne’s six-year-old and then gave him a breather going to four out.

Flanagan, cleverley, waited until safely at the back of the third last and then sent the winner away again.
