Five stars in World domination

ANY doubts about Fiveforthree staying three miles were totally dispelled when he ran away with the Grade 1 ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle at Punchestown yesterday.

Ruby Walsh had promised he would ride him to get the trip and was as good as his word, as he waited well off the solid pace set by English challenger, Roll Along.

Walsh began to edge closer entering the final mile and Fiveforthree came there cantering on the heels of the leaders heading to the final turn.
