Berry at the double on comeback
Fairy Wing, recording his second win around Dundalk, needed all of Berry’s strength to get the better of front-running Rocky’s Pride by a neck in the Irish News Against The Breeze Rated Race, prompting trainer Jessica Harrington to comment: “It’s great to give Fran a winner on his comeback ride. This horse is a bit of a monkey and was having a good look around. He’s in a handicap at Leopardstown on Wednesday and will probably go there.”
Berry got the opening at just the right time on board the Vincent Ward-trained mare Regal Tramp in the Irish News Club Call Handicap, the four-year-old Street Cry filly ultimately proving a length and a half too good for favourite Word For Word.
