THROUGHOUT the year Adrian McGuinness has shown just what he can do with a better type of horse and this point was yet again in evidence in the penultimate stakes race of the season as new recruit Harry’s Bar outpointed stablemate Laugh A Minute in the Listed Belgrave Stakes.

In a switch from its traditional Derby weekend slot, this six-furlongs race turned into a bonanza for McGuinness and his owners Shamrock Thoroughbreds and it also enabled Harry’s Bar to make a significant initial return on his purchase price.
