Rheinland off the mark in good style

THE Austin Leahy trained Rheinland redeemed the promise of her Killarney second with a decent effort to land the Greenmount Conference Centre Mares’ Maiden Hurdle at Limerick last night.

Held up behind by Emmet McNamara, she made gradual progress through the final mile and was right in contention turning for home.

The daughter of Humbel grabbed a marginal lead at the second last and then forged clear to beat The Grey Express by a comfortable two lengths.
