Mall Dini wins the Pertemps Final for Patrick Kelly in the hands of Davy Russell
 |
Mall Dini had to survive a stewards' enquiry before he was named as the winner of the Pertemps Network Final at Cheltenham this afternoon.
The six-year-old had stayed on strongly up the hill to record a three quarter length success but celebrations were quickly subdued after an enquiry was announced. The 14/1 chance had veered to his left immediately after jumping the final flight which caused interference to the eventual runner up, Arpege d'Alene, and the luckless third placed horse, If In Doubt, who was twice hampered going to the last and was then carried across the track as Mall Dini went left.
However, the result stood, giving Irish trainer Patrick Kelly his first Festival success. It was a case of third time lucky for Kelly who had had two previous Festival runners.
"It's nice to win it," said Kelly.
"He's a nice horse and is progressing all the time. I'm very happy with him. It's very exciting as I've been here before twice but haven't had much luck. In 1990, I had a nice horse in the Supreme Novices' which didn't win (Art Trail in 1990) and I had another a couple of years later in the National Hunt Chase in, which Willie Mullins rode (Take The Town in 1994), but unfortunately he was unseated so today is the first bit of luck I've had.
"I've only got a small number of horses. Philip (Reynolds, the owner) and I have been friends for quite a while now and wanted me to get him a horse. I saw this fellow and bought him off Tom Costello junior as I'd worked for his Dad a couple of times. Tom said it was quite a nice horse so I went down to see him with Philip and he bought him. He's a fine, big looking horse with a nice pedigree - the Costellos have some very nice horses. The boys kept saying the better the ground, the nicer horse I had so I wasn't worried about that. He is only a novice but he has plenty of experience."

BOWEN: 'I WAS PROBABLY THERE TOO SOON'
Arpege D'Alene finished second to Mall Dini by three-quarters of a length, with If In Doubt a head further back in third.
Six-year-old Arpege D'Alene, a 14/1 shot, was trained by Paul Nicholls and ridden by Sean Bowen.
Bowen said: "I was probably there too soon. My horse jumped the second-last, travelled his way to the front, looked around, missed the last and ran on again, which was a bit of shame, but there we go."
If In Doubt was trained by Philip Hobbs and ridden by Richard Johnson. He had an unlucky run, being twice hampered going to the last hurdle, and then was carried across the track across the final flight.
There was a stewards' enquiry following the race, but the places remained unaltered.
