Windsor Park coasts to smooth success

Back at the scene of an effortless bumper success at the Festival, the classy Windsor Park proved the star of yesterday’s action in Galway, coasting to a smooth success over Marchese Marconi in the www.swordsecurity.com Amateur Race.

The Dermot Weld-trained five-year-old triumphed by nine and a half lengths in the colours of Dr. Ronan Lambe, completing an across-the-card double for his trainer, successful with Zawraq at Leopardstown, who ended the 2014 flat campaign with 92 wins in Ireland.

Winning rider Robbie McNamara stated: “A mile and six is probably too short for him – if he keeps progressing, he could be an Ascot Gold Cup horse, but I’d prefer if he goes over hurdles!
