David Geary, who trains a small string in Clarina, County Limerick, savoured his first win since June of last year when Deo Vero, luckless on debut at the Curragh and a morning gamble, landed the Irish EBF Auction Series 2-Y-0 Maiden in Roscommon.
“She had a lovely introduction at the Curragh, although nothing went right for her,” explained Geary. “But Chris (Hayes, jockey) gave her a nice experience and her work has improved since. She missed the kick again tonight, but the gaps came at the right time and it’s great to win a maiden with her. She might go for a winners of one in Leopardstown next month (June 20).”
