Smullen at his best on game Grace

PAT SMULLEN gave Grace O’Malley a quite magnificent drive to land the Group 3 Kerry Group Noblesse Stakes at Cork yesterday.

Kris Weld represented his father, Dermot, and reported: “Everyone is delighted, she is brave and tough and has now won this two years in-a-row.”

Smullen had her in front from the start, but the pair had defeat staring them in the face all the way up the straight, as Karasiyra and Unity threw down strong challenges.
