Green To Gold can follow-up despite penalty and drop in trip

GREEN TO GOLD, an impressive winner at Bellewstown on Sunday, should follow-up under a mandatory 5lb penalty in the ‘Kila & Paddy Casey’ Apprentice Handicap at Leopardstown tonight.

Trained by Christy Roche, the six-year-old Daylami gelding had two outings over fences before opening his account on the level at the County Meath track, when landing a significant gamble (7/2 to 2/1).

Ridden then by Fran Berry, he stretched clear inside the final furlong to slam Cinderella Story by eight lengths, a performance which sparked a whopping 15lbs hike in the ratings.
