Casey cajoles Sonnium to victory

THE victory of Sonnium, one of three winners for Willie Mullins, in last night’s Summer Festival Beginners Chase at Tipperary owed much to the perseverance of David Casey.

He was pushing and cajoling his charge along from a fair way out, but had his reward in the end.

Reported Casey: “I was hampered at the first and outpaced a little after that.”
