Anam Allta Bolts Up At Tipperary
Sunday, 2 October 2011
The most valuable contest on the ‘Super Sunday’ mixed card at Tipperary on Sunday was the Group 3 Coolmore Stud Home Of Champions Concorde Stakes and it produced an impressive winner in the shape of the Dermot Weld-trained Anam Allta. The progressive three-year-old was sent to the front over a furlong out by Declan McDonogh and sprinted clear to record a six lengths success. The star performer on the National Hunt side of the card was Davy Russell, with him riding the winners of two of the three Graded races. He opened his account in the Grade 3 Dolores Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle on the Tom Mullins-trained Tavern Times and completed his brace in the Grade 3 Like A Butterfly Novice Chase on Mouse Morris’ highly-promising chasing debutant First Lieutenant. The other Graded race on the card was the Grade 2 Friends Of Tipperary Hurdle and it was the Edward O’Grady-trained The Real Article that bolted up by eight lengths under Barry Geraghty.
