My Hometown creates favourable impression on debut

The Enda Bolger-trained newcomer My Hometown created a hugely-favourable impression on his career debut at Saturday’s Kanturk-Duhallow point-to-point meeting at Dromahane by recording a bloodless success in the first division of the four-year-old geldings’ maiden.

On an afternoon that witnessed some eight races, the well-touted My Hometown (evens –1/2) was bounced out in front and he gave a breathtaking display of fencing at the head of affairs. He effortlessly asserted on the run to the penultimate of the 13 obstacles to defeat Ben Button by a hard-held four lengths in the familiar JP McManus silks.
