Argocat claims Greenmount spoils

The Tom Taaffe-trained Argocat captured the Grade 2 Greenmount Park Novice Chase, feature of the St. Stephen’s Day action in Limerick yesterday.

Only a four-year-old and a course and distance winner back in October, Andrew McNamara’s mount jumped into the lead at the second last and survived a last fence mistake to beat Snooze comfortably by eight lengths.

Argocat’s task was made considerably easier when odds-on favourite Mikael D’Haguenet and Emmet Mullins crashed five fences from home.
