Orgilgo Bay puts up terrific performance to defy top weight

Orgilgo Bay, trained in Co Meath by John McConnell, put up a terrific performance to defy top weight in the valuable Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel yesterday.

Superbly handled by Kevin Sexton, the son of Lawman jumped like the proverbial cat and made every yard of the running.

He had most of the opposition gasping for breath a long way from home and maintained a relentless gallop all the way up the straight to trounce Annagh Haven by five lengths.
