Larkwing back on song for McNamara

ERIC McNAMARA produced a fine training performance to land the Grade 3 Kevin McManus Bookmaker Grimes Hurdle with Larkwing at Tipperary yesterday.

The seven-year-old hadn’t run since the Cheltenham Festival in March, but stripped fit and well and ready to run for his life.

“We left the horse off after he disappointed in the County Hurdle”, reported McNamara. “We gelded him straight away and then brought him back with today’s race in mind.”
