Beau Amadeus breaks his duck in style

THE Adrian McGuinness trained Beau Amadeus broke his duck in style when landing the €65,000 Derrinstown Stud Birdcatcher Premier Nursery at Naas yesterday.

Ridden for the first time by Wayne Lordan, the 14/1 shot came from last to first to land the spoils by two lengths from Srucahan.

A delighted McGuinness commented: “He’s been unlucky and should won his maiden long before this. But he’s been getting his act together. He’s tough and had to be today — he was the first horse off the bridle but stuck at it.”
