IT was a late finish at Sunday’s Muskerry Foxhounds meeting in Ballindenisk with 90 horses participating on the nine-race card, and the Mick Goff-trained Tactic (3/1 - 4/1) indicated that a bright track career awaits by recording a clear-cut debut success in the first division of the four-year-old mares’ maiden.

Tactic was bounced out smartly by her handler’s son, Harry Goff, at the head of affairs, but she had a tendency to jump left-handed at some of her fences and was joined by Crystaleyes after the fourth-last of the 12 obstacles.
