Local trainer Tom Cleary records Listowel festival win

Athlone trainer Tom Cleary recorded his seventh win in the Irish flat season with victory in the Greenville Maiden flat race today in Listowel.

Cleary, whose stable is based in Carrickobrien, saddled Truly Delightful in the second race on Thursday's card during the famous Harvest Festival at the Kerry track.

A 12/1 shot, Truly Delightful held off the challenge of Muntasaf up the run in to secure victory by a neck, under hard riding by jockey Fran Berry.

 

It's the seventh win on the flat in Ireland this year for Cleary, who is enjoying his best season as a trainer.
