Buster on a clear upward curve

The Tom Busteed-trained Buster Dan Dan showed that he’s on a clear upward trajectory by landing the winners of one at the Stonehall Harriers point-to-point fixture outside Askeaton yesterday.

On an afternoon that witnessed just six races, Buster Dan Dan (3/1) was bounced out in front by Mikey O’Connor and he had Black Lily as his closest pursuer until Always Improving went second as the depleted 11-runner field set out on the final circuit.

The mare Phone Booth arrived from mid-division to overtake Buster Dan Dan after the penultimate of the 15 obstacles.
