Racing TV published this video item, entitled “Luckless Lossiemouth unable to peg back GALA MARCEAU at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown” – below is their description.
Gala Marceau caused a turn up in the Donohue Marquees Spring Juvenile Hurdle when turning the tables on her much-vaunted stablemate Lossiemouth at Leopardstown.
Owned by Kenny Alexander of Honeysuckle fame, Gala Marceau finished seven lengths behind Lossiemouth at Christmas and could be backed at 9-2 while Lossiemouth was sent off the red-hot 1-3 favourite.
However, the Willie Mullins-trained pair, although dominating the finish, did not cross the line in the order expected.
Lossiemouth’s race was lost at the third-last when another stablemate, the rank outsider Jourdefete, owned like Lossiemouth by Rich Ricci, made a mistake leaving Lossiemouth nowhere to go.
Paul Townend had to take his medicine on the market leader, briefly dropping back to last before circling the field on the bend.
It was to Lossiemouth’s credit that she still had a chance heading to the last, but the bird had already flown.
Gala Marceau and Danny Mullins were spring-heeled at it and maintained a two and a half length advantage at the finish. Another Mullins runner, Tekao, was third.
