IT was heartening to see Kruzhlinin attempting to win two open races in two days even though he ended up meeting a proper horse when going down to Some Are Lucky at Fairyhouse.

With a month of racing still to come, it is likely that these two horses along with the mare Longhouse Music (who had a walkover and a win last weekend) will all be attempting to be crowned leading point-to-pointer on the basis of number of races won.
