Unbeaten Daughter Of Walk In The Park Shines Over Hurdles

Chosen Comrade (4f Walk In The Park - Timetostowaway, by Stowaway) maintained her unbeaten record with a stylish winning debut over hurdles at Limerick on Sunday.

The four-year-old had won her sole point-to-point at Borris House in March for Gary Murphy. Now in the care of Peter Fahey, Chosen Comrade followed up her bumper score at Tipperary in May with a clear-cut victory in the hands of Sam Ewing.

Chosen Comrade was positioned prominently and came clear before the final flight to register a four-length win. In third was another daughter of Walk In The Park in Fedneys Park.

Fahey said: "It was a little bit of a relief and while I always liked her, I can't say she shows up massively at home. The way she did it today, you couldn't but be impressed.

"We only had her a couple of months before her bumper, which was a big turnaround coming from Gary's [Murphy]. It was a bit of a gamble to go for a bumper but it worked out and coming here today, she was as fit as we could have her but she'll improve from it.

"Hopefully she ends up being a nice filly for those good mares' races. I think she's a Graded mare, as she has plenty of pace and her jumping is good.

Chosen Comrade was bred by Mr F Whelan.
