Best In The World gets the better of Somehow at Mallow

Ballydoyle runners dominated the finish of the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Give Thanks Stakes on a high-class card in Mallow, and it was the lesser fancied of the two, Best In The World, who prevailed under Colm O’Donoghue, beating stablemate Somehow by a neck.

Both were patiently ridden, as More Mischief set the tempo. But, when the field turned for home the eventual first and second began to make their moves.

Somehow slipped through along the inside and looked booked for victory until Best In The World, brought around the outside, responded particularly well to the urgings of O’Donoghue to snatch victory in the dying strides.
