Walsh fuming after Summer Star is virtually left at the start

“It’s a long way to come for f*** all,” said an irate Ted Walsh after his hot-pot, Summer Star, was left about 15 lengths at the start of the Tote Jackpot Mares’ Maiden Hurdle at Limerick last night.

Both Summer Star and second favourite, The Bishop’s Day, had literally no chance once starter, Paddy Graffin, let them go.

The field was immediately spread out like brown’s cows and those who had supported the market-leaders were always struggling to get a run for their money.
