Hilary aims to score big in the Book Online Tramore-Racecourse.com Handicap
Twenty-eight runners will try their luck in the Book Online Tramore-Racecourse.com Handicap, which will be hosted at Tramore on 2nd June, 2012. They will race over 1 mile and 4 furlongs, over a surface which has been labelled
good to firm.
The five-year-old, Hilary, will attempt to land the first victory of her career, and if she goes on to achieve this feat; it will be a grand moment for her and her connections.
Trained by Gerard Stack for owners, C.T. Mullins, the bay mare has shown massive progress in her last start, where she jumped from a finish in tenth to a placed position.
Over the course of her career, the daughter of Hawk Wing, out of mare Mistress Mac, has been missing the mark in most of her starts.
Hilary finished tenth in a line-up of eighteen runners in the Dark Horse Cafe and Wine Bar Maiden Hurdle at Down Royal on 7th May, 2012, but she soon recovered in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden
at Roscommon on 21st May, 2012.
With jockey N.G. McCullagh on her back, she finished a strong third, 4 ¾ lengths behind winner, Emotional Dream and half-length behind the runner-up, Whisper Gently.
Atmospheric High is another runner who has shown remarkable progress in her last two starts, and might be a thorn in Hilary’s way.
Edward Lynam’s charge finished in seventeenth place in the Keadeen Hotel Wedding Specialists Handicap at Curragh on 7th May, 2012, but got back on her feet in the Dundalk Stadium on Facebook Handicap (Div I) at Dundalk on 18thMay,
2012, where she finished sixth.
The brown filly moved from seventeenth to sixth place and might move even further if she brings all she has to the track.
In her eight starts, she finished thrice in third place, which signifies that she has what it takes to win.
Victory belongs to Hilary in this race since she rose from a disappointing tenth to a commendable third recently. From here onwards, she is likely to continue to improve.
