Wachman-Murtagh share double

Warning Flag made virtually all the running and, despite swishing his tail in the closing stages, responded to Murtagh’s driving to keep all challengers at bay, beating Park Avenue, like the winner,carrying the colours of Michael Tabor, by a length and a quarter.

Trainer Wachman, speaking by phone, said later: “He’s going the right way, improving with each run and will be a nice horse next year, over a mile or ten furlongs. Johnny said he found plenty when the others came at him. And he won well.”
