PADDY Harnett booted home his fourth winner of the season, just two off his best of six registered in 2020 and 2021, when Gloucester swooped late to bag the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at 16/1 at Cork.
It was a third winner provided by trainer Donnacha O’Brien, an association the Abbeyfeale man will look to foster.
Harnett certainly will have impressed the Classic-winning conditioner with this piece of patient navigation.
The talented pilot always looked happy in the testing underground conditions and he timed his challenge perfectly to take it up inside the last 100 yards, scoring by three parts of a length.
