Flemenstar fells Warrior

Flemenstar exacted resounding revenge on Bog Warrior when landing the Grade 3 Naas Directors Novice Chase in Naas yesterday.

Beaten by his rival when both horses made their chasing debuts at Navan back in November, Flemenstar edged ahead at the seventh and, outjumping Bog Warrior at every fence, had Davy Russell’s mount in trouble approaching the second last.

At that stage, outsider-of-three Frisco Depot came through to chase Flemenstar home, five and a half lengths adrift, while Bog Warrior dropped away tamely and was eased before finishing sixty lengths adrift.
