Winner of her maiden hurdle on the corresponding card last year, Hasten Slowly, from the in-form yard of John McConnell, landed the featured Bluegrass Horse Feeds Handicap Hurdle on the opening day of Tramore’s August festival.
Having tracked the pace set by top-weight Expound, Alex Harvey produced the five-year-old mare to challenge between horses on the extended run-in. And she picked-up well to seal the deal by a length and three-quarters from Granpa Ger.
