Mac picks up the Tempo
The seventeen-race maiden, unlucky when falling at the second last at Kilbeggan last time, was sent off a red-hot 11/8 favourite and, having come from off the pace, proved an ultimately convincing winner, beating Please As Punch by two and a half lengths.
Remarkably, Tempo Mac was Gordon Elliott 21st domestic winner of the new season and, although the trainer wasn’t present, he later commented: “He deserved that after what happened in Kilbeggan. He’s entered for Wexford on Wednesday and, if he’s okay, he’ll go there.”
