Police answers the call for Walsh

Call The Police justified short-priced favouritism in the featured Grade 3 Beamish Stout Phil Sweeney Memorial Chase at Thurles yesterday, but not before giving punters a fright.

Ruby Walsh allowed him lead going to the fifth last, but Paul Carberry was soon in pursuit on market rival Foildubh.

There wasn’t much to choose between the pair over the last two fences, but Call The Police was in receipt of 7lbs and that was the decisive factor, as he edged home half a length to the good.
