Murphy family have day to remember

The Murphy family from Inishbeg in Baltimore had an afternoon to remember on finals day at the Ballabuidhe harness racing festival yesterday when their runners captured the two big finals.

In the Heineken Ireland grand prix, IB Guicci was made to work hard for his win in the testing conditions.

See My Reflection, a heat winner on the Sunday, took up the running from flag fall. With a lap to race Bon Camotion joined the leader and looked the likely winner, but IB Guicci stayed on best to get the judges’ call in a blanket finish.
