Conrad Hastings proves far too slick for hotpot

Henry de Bromhead introduced a promising newcomer in Conrad Hastings to turn over hotpot Don’t Kick Nor Bite in the Hotel Minella Maiden Hurdle in Tipperary.

The five-year-old Flemensfirth gelding was close to the pace throughout, took command turning for home and forged clear, readily, for David Mullins to slam 2/5 shot Don’t Kick Nor Bite by 10 lengths.

“He’s a lovely horse and has been doing some nice bits of work,” explained De Bromhead, “He’s a real chaser in the making.”
