Cork report: Poseidon opens chasing account to give Sean O'Keeffe a double

O’Keeffe had started the day on a winning note, partnering Matty Tynan’s Chicago Time, pipped on his last two starts, to victory over Mahlers Dollar

The Charles Byrnes-trained novice Poseidon opened his chasing account when landing the Grade B coopsuperstore.ie Handicap Chase in Cork, providing in-form rider Sean O’Keeffe with the second leg of a double, bringing his seasonal tally to 24.

A casualty in Listowel last time, Poseidon came through to lead soon after the third last fence and, a little untidy at the last, stayed on to hold Grange Walk by three and a half lengths.
