Teak-tough Blazing Bailey digs deep to land spoils

THE teak-tough Blazing Bailey dug deep to win the ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle at Punchestown yesterday giving trainer, Alan King, his first ever winner at the Festival.

“Janet Williamson has been working very hard to get us to come and we could not have been looked after any better”, said King. “My wife and I have had a great time and I will be back with plenty of horses next year.”

Blazing Bailey is a horse who simply doesn’t know when he’s had enough and going to four out appeared to be in big trouble.
