Progressive Eala Beag completes hat-trick

Eala Beag seems to be improving with practically every run.

And Louis Archdeacon’s mare lit up yesterday’s Kilworth and Araglen Harriers point-to-point fixture at Ballynalacken by making all the running with 19-year-old Stella McGrath to claim victory in the novice riders’ open lightweight.

Also successful at Ballyvodock and Knockanard last month, Eala Beag (4/1), who was fitted with cheekpieces, was sent to the front from flagfall and she gave a supremely-polished display of jumping throughout.
