Shane B

Core Element completed a hat-trick when grinding out victory in the fillies handicap at Roscommon. Shane Buggy's charge has been better than ever this season after returning from a long-break and defied a 9lb for her recent Sligo success. Compelling had hit the front from pacemaker Independent Girl with over a furlong-and-a-half to run but was strongly pressed inside the final furlong. Core Element responded gamely for Gary Carroll to wear down that rival and record a three-parts-of-a-length victory. "That's the ground she wants. She could possibly go for a fillies handicap over seven in Galway," Shane Buggy. "Gary said she showed a slight bit of temperament today going into the stalls, however, and feels it might be better to give her a break." Racehorse trainer Shane Buggy was delighted with Core Element’s recent winning form at Gowran Park in the Apprentice Handicap. Said Shane: “Core Element really is on top form and in the last two runs out, she hasn’t lost a pound. At Gowran Park she was five lengths in front of the field at one point and finished 0.89 seconds faster than the course average. “She is fed on TopSpec Comprehensive Feed Balancer and TopSpec Performance Cubes. Being on a high specification diet, has allowed good muscle development and she keeps her condition, and her coat is in good condition too, she really does shine.” “She had won before for me but I can definitely see the difference now she is on TopSpec. I’m not sure I want to tell people about it and just keep it to myself!”
