Game Point won the Listowel Lartigue Hurdle result at 10/1 according to the official result at Listowel on Thursday. The R P Cody-trained runner, steered by Sam Ewing, travelled smoothly in midfield before storming clear after the final flight to win decisively on good ground.
Game Point beat 3/1 favourite Ben Hur by 2.25 lengths, with Mino Des Mottes a further half-length back in third. The Listowel Lartigue Hurdle result was delivered with measured timing from Ewing, who produced his mount at precisely the right moment to land the prize with authority.
Sam Ewing’s Game Point Wins Lartigue Hurdle at 10/1
Beauvallon, the top weight at official rating 133, finished fourth at 9/2 after making progress from the back field. Paul Townend’s mount lacked the finishing kick, and the narrow margins throughout the Listowel Lartigue Hurdle result demonstrated the competitive nature of the field. Adrienne and Hopes Are High completed the first six, with the gaps measured at half a length and a quarter-length respectively.
