Al Ferof prevails in style in bumper

The O'Doherty's Audio & Video (Pro/Am) Flat Race was a one horse race if the market was to be believed with Willie Mullins' Arvika Ligeonniere going off at 2/5. However out on the track Al Ferof, the second favourite totally took over from the quarter mile pole to prevail by all of ten lengths. Wed 02nd Dec

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 2nd Dec, 2009 (1st)

He won it very very well. There wasn't much of a gallop on the last day and that bumper worked out super, really really well and he's improved a lot from it. He could be a Cheltenham bumper horse, if he improves. He couldn't have done it any better today. He won't jump a hurdle until this time next year, he is fairly backward.
