b m Old Vic - Torsha (IRE) (Torus)
Soon disputed, jumped on 4 out, quickened clear after 2 out, easily (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement of form, that the mare only ran at Listowel because it was the Kerry National. He said she was beaten after two fences but just kept plugging on in extreme conditions, and the rider that day did not give her a hard race once he accepted she could not get competitive. He stated that the race conditions suited her today, and that he availed of a 7lb claiming rider, which in his opinion any apparent improvement was as a result of a combination of these factors) (op 5-2 tchd 11-4)
