Russell shows class as Oilily streaks home

OILILY, confidently handled by Davy Russell, streaked away with the www.racinghomeforeaster.com Hurdle at Cork yesterday.

The track certainly had an unique atmosphere, with some 2,000 students on site for their annual day out.

Oilily was partnered with patience by Russell, after easy-to-back Won In The Dark was, surprisingly, allowed bowl along at the third. Castle Wings took over at the second last, but Oilily was cruising and had this nicely in control from the final flight.
