Their mare Jazzaway took a €30,000 handicap at the Punchestown festival earlier this week. delirium

Earlier this week an Offaly syndicate were sent into delirium when winning a €30,000 handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival.  

The Whitegrass Racing syndicate as they're known were meant to have two runners in the race but their second chance Getaway Gorgeous had to be withdrawn before the race got underway.

Ridden by Conor McNamara and trained by Willie Mullins, the 6 year-old Jazzaway got the better of 22/1 shot Call Me Lyreen in a photo finish.

Jazzaway went off a cracking price of 10/1.
