Rocky’s Treasure makes makes stylish winning debut

There were some outstanding performances at yesterday’s well-attended Muskerry Hunt point-to-point fixture at Curraheen and the Declan Queally-trained/ridden Rocky’s Treasure hinted that a bright track career lies in wait by making a stylish winning debut in the five-year-old geldings’ maiden.

The hooded Rocky’s Treasure (4/1), a son of Westerner, always travelled well in the 13-runner contest and he took up the running clearly travelling best after the second last.

The Canny Man was destined for second spot when making a horrendous blunder at the final fence and he faded to finish fourth as Jennys Day filled the runner-up berth, some six lengths adrift of the Mrs Margaret Kiely-owned Rocky’s Treasure.
