NEWCOMER IMPRESSES IN FOUR-YEAR-OLD MAIDEN

Killeen Glebe graduate Spinningayarn shaped like an exciting prospect when bolting up on debut in Wednesday’s four-year-old maiden at Ballyknock.

Sean Doyle’s charge was sent off favourite under Jamie Scallan and raced in midfield for much of the way. Taking closer order from the second last, he led at the final fence and drew clear on the run-in to score by ten lengths.

The Order Of St George gelding was bought by Killeen Glebe with Mags O’Toole as a foal and re-offered by Killeen Glebe at the Derby Sale, where he sold to Monbeg Stables for €60,000.
