Carole’s Pass delights Amy Murphy with Exeter success
Mare hails from a famous family.
Carole’s Pass was the pride of the Murphy family on Sunday after her Exeter success reached as far as the safari reserves of South Africa. The mare is trained by Amy Murphy and was bred by her father Paul and started out over fences this season having won twice over hurdles and a bumper. She made her chasing debut in a Listed Exeter event and finished third over two miles, after which she stepped up to two and a half miles and was third again in the Yorkshire Silver Vase. In the Lady Protectress at Huntingdon she was then unlucky to part company with Jack Quinlan as another horse fell in front of them, but there were no such hard luck stories at the weekend as she jumped without a glitch in another Listed event. An 11-1 chance in a field of good mares, Carole’s Pass seemed to relish the step up to three miles and strode to an unchallenged seven-and-a-half-length success to secure black type font on her pedigree – a boon to her dedicated breeder who was watching on from another continent.An incredible Sunday afternoon double as Carole’s Pass @jackquinlan92 takes a richly deserved win in the Listed Mares Chase @ExeterRaces following Sovereign Knight @AnojDon @KShoemark success 20 minutes earlier @LingfieldPark pic.twitter.com/s2WV7WqcBh
