Promising Son Of Maxios Draws Clear In Maiden Hurdle

Tuesday saw The Mediator (7g Maxios – All About Love, by Winged Love) gain a deserved win over hurdles, as he ran out an impressive winner of the two-mile maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse.

Gordon Elliott’s charge was sent off favourite following seven placings over hurdles and made all of the running under Jack Kennedy. Drawing clear with two flights left to jump, the Maxios gelding was ridden out to score by eight and a half lengths.

Speaking after the race, Elliott said: “The Mediator deserved to win as he's been knocking on the door for a long time, so it's great. He's got loads of ability.”

The €80,000 store sale buy is owned by Mrs Sheila O’Ryan, John Doyle, Dee l’Estrange and Grant Leon.
