Peter Fahey’s team is in superb form and Sit Down Lucy continued the fine run of the yard by making an impressive winning chasing debut in the Galway City Beginners’ Chase.
Market leader Hallowed Star set out to make all the running, but Sean Flanagan, aboard the winner, stalked the pace for much of the journey before mounting a challenge going to the second-last. In front shortly after the final fence, the mare, who was a winner over hurdles at the summer festival here, picked up well to leave the long-time leader in her wake.
