Isabellareine to attempt quick double

ISABELLAREINE is set for quick reappearance at Dundalk tomorrow following a smooth success in the featured Midland Breeders Mares Hurdle at Kilbeggan last evening, first leg of a double for talented claimer Bryan Cooper.

The Mervyn Torrens trained mare, confidently handled, swept past the flattering Red Key on the run-in to triumph by two lengths, recording her third win over hurdles.

A delighted Torrens said of the German-bred seven-year-old: “She just keeps going and is a very tough mare. She’s in at Dundalk on Sunday and, if she comes out of this race okay, she’ll go there.
