RACHAEL Blackmore enjoyed a day to remember at Naas last Saturday, landing a first ever four-timer which included a winning return to action for Captain Guinness who added his name to the list of horses from last year’s Arkle field to have won a graded chase this season.

The theme of the day was the overall race times not representing a true guide in highlighting the best performances on the clock. Captain Guinness (153) was not exempt from such a comment although it may allude that the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding can be a more manageable character through his races this season.
