Young Albert snatches win for Geraghty

Young Albert built on his fifth-place finish in the John Smith’s People’s Race last weekend to snatch victory in the Sports 360 Leaders In Sports Advertising “Fixed Brush” Handicap Hurdle at Haydock.

Local owner Trevor Hemmings’ green and yellow quartered colours were spotted down the field in the charity event at Aintree exactly seven days ago, but fared much better when donned by Barry Geraghty on the opposite end of Merseyside.
