Minella Indo has won a thrilling renewal of the Grade 3 Savills New Year’s Day Chase at Tramore.
The ten year old, under Killenaule’s Rachael Blackmore, narrowly prevailed from Stattler in a pulsating finish to score for trainer Henry de Bromhead.
He told Racing TV he was thrilled with the result:
“It was amazing, I was blown away. I got very emotional. It’s incredible. I’m delighted for the horse, delighted for the Maloney’s – they’re brilliant supporters of ours. Rachael was amazing on him. It all just went right for us.”
