George takes gold medal in dashing style

DASHING GEORGE gave a brilliant exhibition of jumping to land the Denny Gold Medal Handicap Chase at Tralee yesterday.

Truth to tell he destroyed the opposition, which was some performance, considering the six-year-old arrived on the back of just a victory in a beginners chase at Listowel.

Eric McNamara’s charge simply winged fences and this is clearly his true vocation. Paddy Flood eased him ahead just before the third last and he coasted clear to beat the always prominent Jamies Choice by eight lengths.
