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as they're known were meant to have two runners in the race but their second chance Getaway Gorgeous had to be withdrawn before the race got underway.
