Josh Halford timed his challenge to perfection to get With Nolimit up to win the Race & Stay At Punchestown Champion I.N.H. Flat Race.
Ninth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, the Gordon Elliot-trained five year-old held off the challenge of Festival hero The Mourne Rambler – who looked to be hampered on the run to the line before staying on again – to come home a length and three-quarters clear of Noel Meade’s 11-8 favourite.
Elliott said of his 14-1 scorer: “To be fair he ran a good race in Cheltenham, he might have just done a little bit much. I probably gave Harry (Swan) the wrong instructions.
“We took our time with him a bit more today. All credit to Josh, he gave him a great ride.
“I’m delighted for Josh, he works in the yard and he works very hard. He’s a lovely fella, he’s from good stock.
“He’s with me now for a couple of years and got us a good few winners. He comes in every day and doesn’t say too much and doesn’t give out. He’s patient and I’m absolutely thrilled for him, to win a Grade One. It’s hard to get them.”
The Cullentra handler added: “That’s equal with our best ever season as regards Grade Ones (12). Hopefully we might get another one before the end of the week.”
