Drop back in trip no problem for Grimshaw

BARRY Geraghty doubled-up on Golden Grimshaw and Norther Bay in Down Royal yesterday.

The Geraghty-ridden Golden Grimshaw edged past front-running Baracas when that rival blundered at the third last flight and, clear between the last two flights, stayed on to triumph by six lengths, prompting trainer James Lambe to explain: “He was a bit unlucky in a tough race in Sligo the last day and I was concerned about coming back to two miles with him.”

He added: “But Barry was happy with him and told me he could go for another novice or a good handicap, off a low weight. I have no firm plan for him. But there might be something for him in Listowel.”
