Nelson’s Rock gained a deserved success in the four-year-old maiden at Tinahely in what was a relatively competitive contest with some lines of form on offer, coming primarily from the final weeks of last season. The son of Mount Nelson who was appearing for the third time finished third in a grief-stricken maiden at Ballingarry on the final day of last season. The eye catching gelding took up a pace-setting position after half a mile once he over took Minella Wizard. Seemingly a very straight forward individual, he showed a good attitude, getting away much quicker from the final fence than his chief rival and looks sure to enjoy plenty of success under rules.
