Killenaule trainer Martin Hassett enjoyed a double on today’s card in Clonmel, and it was his diminutive mare Mary Frances who stole the show, taking the featured Jim Strang & Sons Kilsheelan (Peugeot) Hurdle.
As game as they come, she was in vaunted company this time, taking on Irish Grand National winner Burrows Saint, but proved up to the task.
