THE Davy Russell-Gigginstown House Stud success story continued at Cork yesterday when Stonemaster battled on strongly to land the www.racinghomeforeaster.com Hurdle.

He moved sweetly through the contest, with Russell in no great hurry to show his hand. Russell finally made his move going to the two out, driving Dessie Hughes’ six-year-old into the lead.

The winner had already taken Catch Me’s measure, when that one hit the final flight, and had plenty left, as Won In The Dark tried to close, the verdict half a length.
