Mahler Mare Delivers With Bumper Success

Run For Mahler (6m Mahler - Run For Sol, by Solon) claimed her first win when landing the concluding mares’ bumper at Down Royal on Friday.

The Charles Byrnes-trained mare had finished second on her last two starts, including at Tramore earlier this month when denied by just three-quarters of a length. The daughter of Mahler proved game in victory when defeating Good Girl Kathleen (by Getaway) by a neck.

Byrnes said: "She enjoyed the galloping track. We thought she was a bit unlucky in Tramore and she was getting the allowances tonight.

"He [Alan O'Sullivan] gave her a good ride and he will get opportunities as he is good value for his 7lb claim.

"She will go hurdling now. She has schooled and she jumps well."

Run For Mahler was bred by the Top Of The Hill Syndicate.
