Robbie Power makes winning return from injury on Gin On Lime at Tipperary

“That’s what I’ve been fighting to get fit for – for ones like that,” said Power

Robbie Power made his comeback from injury a winning one aboard Gin On Lime in the O’Dwyer Steel Dundrum Novice Chase, one of three Grade 3 races on Super Sunday in Tipperary.

Henry de Bromhead’s mare has been a revelation since being sent over fences and, after winning her first three, found Fan De Blues just too good in a similar contest at the Galway festival. Meeting that rival on 7lbs better terms this time, she comprehensively turned the tables with what her rider felt was her best effort to date. Power had the luxury of easing her down on the run-in, as she coasted across the line 12 lengths clear of her old rival.
