Beach double for Flynn and Grant
Successful at Limerick in June, Topadee appreciated the fast surface as she scored an emphatic two-and-a-quarter lengths victory over Toufan Express in the opening Balmarino Handicap, prompting Grant to explain, in the absence of the winning trainer: “She’s a good filly and did it well. She loved the surface. And, once she got the split, it was all over.”
The beach certainly sparked significant improvement from six-year-old Jeangeorges, without a win since last September, as the six-year-old slammed Romeo’s On Fire by more than four lengths to complete the Flynn/Grant double.
