Punchestown Saturday review: Saint Sam denies Any Second Now
Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old won the race. Any Second Now finished second. Summerville Boy came fourth. Jeff Kidder finished seventh. Paddy Power cut Any second Now to 14/1 from 20s for the Aintree Grand National and made Saint Sam 33/ 1 for Paddys Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. The 2018 Supreme Novices’ H. HURTLE winner Summervil Boy finished fourth on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead.
Townend's horse Sinbad Le Marin finished third in the Play The Tote Exacta On Every Race 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle behind Andy Slattery's Sir Allen. Tom Gibney's Must Be Obeyed caused an 18/1 upset in Punchestown Beginners Chase. The horse jumped well and looked a chaser. It's been a bit up and down recently for Gibneys. They are delighted with today's result.
