Kalderon fortunate to stay unbeaten over fences

KALDERON made it two from two over fences when capturing the Grade 3 Kilbegnet Novice Chase for Tom Hogan and Paul Carberry at Roscommon yesterday.

The 145-rated hurdler, a narrow winner on his fencing debut at Killarney, proved a fortunate winner, being left in front when Dreamy Gent, which had attempted to make all, crashed at the final fence while enjoying a lead of almost three lengths.

Kalderon, the strongly supported 9/4 favourite, was left in front of Changing Course and quickly drew clear to beat Holly Tree comfortably by four lengths.
