Maguire on a high as Kite storms home

ADRIAN MAGUIRE jumped about six feet into the air at Limerick yesterday, after his Golden Kite had beaten Fisher Bridge a short head in the ladbrokes.com Munster National.

Maguire, to his credit, had made no secret of the fact that he expected a major performance from his 20-1 shot, and he could hardly have been more right.

Shane Hassett was in the plate and gave the eight-year-old a smashing drive. Golden Kite made most of the running, but was staring defeat firmly in the face all the way up the straight.
