Irish racing at Ballinrobe

Huge fields today at the mixed meeting at Ballinrobe, with 4 flat races and two each over hurdles and fences. Top-weight Casadei (Tom McCourt/ Paul Townend) is very consistent and likes this track; he rates an each-way bet in the handicap chase over 2 3/4 miles at 17.35 CET. Half an hour later, Quinmaster (Mike Halford/ Paddy Flood), a smart flat performer who was rather disappointing over hurdles, can win on his chasing debut, while top-weight Oxalido (Seamus O´Donnell/ Andrew J.McNamara), looks the one to beat in the handicap hurdle over 2 1/2 miles at 19.05. The lightly-raced 6yo has won his last 3 races, all here and the last two over this distance as well, and could still be ahead of the handicapper.
