IT was good to see the journey down to Tipperary on Tuesday paid off for the Patrick McKenna-trained, McKenna Partnership-owned Cuban Grey who, under Joey Sheridan, landed the concluding five-furlong handicap as one of the 9/2 joint-favourites.

The four-year-old Havana Grey gelding was having his sixth start for the Co Tyrone yard, his fifth over the minimum trip and his third on grass.
