THE opening day of Killarney’s May Festival on Sunday saw notable victories for both Off Your Rocco (122) and Jesse Evans (130) over hurdles, but the outstanding performer on the day was Gin On Lime (133+), who trounced her opponents when winning the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.

Henry de Bromhead’s mare had raced with exuberance in her two previous chase runs at Cork and Thurles and set out in similar fashion.
