Lindo Corri copes best in the Kildorrery point-to-point mud

Heavy overnight rainfall ensured that ground conditions were extremely demanding at yesterday’s Kildorrery point-to-point meeting, run under the auspices of the Duhallow Foxhounds on the Vaughan family’s lands at Rockmills Stud.

The French-bred newcomer Corri Lindo (7/2) though was far from inconvenienced by the conditions, readily putting his rivals to the sword under his handler Damian Murphy in the five-year-old geldings’ maiden, the race that attracted the biggest field of the day with 10 runners.

Corri Lindo always took the eye in running and he moved through to lead from six out.
