Aspurofthemoment
Aspurofthemoment did really well to win the two-and-a-quarter-mile handicap chase at Galway on Sunday, the Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase, under an inspired ride from Kevin Sexton. His jumping lacked fluency through the early part of the race, but he stayed in touch and, last of the main group on the run down the hill and over the last two fences, he stayed on strongly up the hill and won cosily in the end. Gavin Cromwell’s horse is only six.
Two for three now over fences – and he made a bad mistake at Killarney in his only defeat - he stayed this trip well. A point-to-point winner and a winner over three miles over hurdles and winner of his beginners’ chase over two and a half, he can improve on this, and he can improve again for going back up in trip. © Sporting Life
