It was payday for Sandyhill Pearl at Newbridge on Friday night with Liam and Kate Ramsbottom’s daughter of Sober Glory and Pennys Baccata running out a tremendous winner of the 1xBet Tour Series A3 525, landing a €2,500 prize in the process.
Prominent from the outset, she chased Glenlara Dubh into the back straight before making her move at the third turn. Shooting through a gap on the fence, she was in front between the last two bends and was then strong enough to contain the big finish of Hawkfield Brisk by a length in 28.77. It was the third success off her career but easily the most valuable.
