Second listed prize for Lemonfield winner Posh Trish

Winning four-year-old point-to-pointer, Posh Trish, picked-up her second Listed prize when getting the better of a battle with fellow Irish pointer, Lust For Glory, in the Ladbrokes mares’ novice hurdle.

The pair had met over course and distance just under a month earlier when it was Denis Murphy’s Lisronagh winner, Lust For Glory, who came out on top, however with a change in tactics and reversal in the weights, it was Posh Trish who made all to success. 
 
Shark Hanlon’s debut Lemonfield four-year-old mares’ victor, who had come up against the likes of Colreevey, Getaway Katie Mai and Ellie Mac on that occasion, had already picked-up black type success when winning a Listed bumper in her first season with Paul Nicholls having been bought for £135,000 at the Cheltenham Festival sale following that point-to-point success.
 
The winning trainer indicated that Highclere Thoroughbred Racing-owned five-year-old could be set to run at Taunton over Christmas for the Listed prize that was won in 2017 by fellow Irish Pointer Maria’s Benefit, with the mares’ novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival a potential long-term target in the spring.
 
Following her three and a-quarter length victory in the extended two-mile contest, the daughter of Stowaway was shortened in the betting for the Grade 2 Trull House Stud mares’ novice hurdle, and is as low as 12/1 now in the market for that race which is a relatively recent addition to the Festival in March.
