Bargain-buy Much Acclaimed scoops another major prize

THE John Morrison-trained Much Acclaimed has to be one of the best bargains ever picked up at the sales.

At Listowel yesterday, he landed the featured Listowel Races Supporters’ Club Lartigue Hurdle, adding to his gains on the flat at the Curragh three days earlier.

A son of Sulamani, he used to be trained in England by Tom Tate. But at Doncaster last November Much Acclaimed was bought for just £800.
