Front-running Away We Go makes light of heavy going

AWAY WE GO put up a decent display of front-running to take the Martinstown Opportunity Maiden Hurdle in the hands of Eddie Power in very testing conditions at Limerick yesterday.

Emergency Exit tried hard to close in the straight, but could never get on terms, despite the winner being quite awkward over the final flight.

The strapping son of Stowaway gave his trainer, Tim Cleary - who is based near Thurles - a first success on the track in a bumper at Kilbeggan and this doubled the tally.
