Ground no problem as Dariak storms to victory

DARIAK, absent since finishing fourth behind Indian Pace in the Galway Hurdle, stormed away with the Brandon Hotel Handicap Hurdle at Tralee yesterday.

David Flannery allowed the grey to hit the front over the third last and Tom Foley’s charge never flinched in the straight to beat Salt Lake an easy two lengths.

“We were a little bit worried about the ground and would have preferred it better”, reported winning trainer, Tom Foley.
