Bulmers Live Apprentice Handicap
Abbey Actress won the Bulmers Live Apprentice Handicap at Leopardstown over 1m1f on soft ground at 4/6 favourite. She sat behind the early pace before moving up to third by halfway, took second three furlongs out and went on smoothly approaching the final furlong, staying on strongly to prevail despite losing her whip. Clear Quartz led from the start but was headed inside the final furlong and could not match the winner, though he kept on to finish three-quarters of a length back in second. Coeur d’Or took third.
