Shop Dj gets punters off on the right foot

PUNTERS wasted no time getting it right at Thurles yesterday when heavily-backed Shop Dj strolled away with the opening Holycross Mares’ Chase, one of three winners for Davy Russell.

Offers as high as 11-4 found favour and Peter Fahey’s charge was supported through all the rates to 13-8 favouritism.

She was given plenty to do by Russell, but those who waded in had no real cause for concern, as the in-form pilot had the timing spot-on.
