Listowel Race 7

Kevin Mcmanus Bookmaker Flat Race

Prize Money: $25,830

Willie Mullins has a particularly strong record in jumpers flat events and BERKSTAR (1) was a fair second on debut in a point to point. Represents leading connections and expected to be very hard to beat. BRAVEMANS CALL (2) ran well on debut to finish third at Killarney in a similar event and can use that experience to good use. Firmly in the mix. VEALES CROSS (8) has an interesting European flat pedigree. Stamina is not anticipated to be an issue. Interesting to see what the market thinks of his chances. DAYS GO BY (4) finished a good second in a point to point and should hold a bright future under Rules. Holds each way claims.
