The remarkable story of the long-standing maiden, Sassaway (took 38 starts before getting off the mark) reached further heights today when on outing number six for Eamonn O'Connell she made it three-in-a-row when landing the opening Taste @Downroyal Handicap on Ulster Derby Day. Sat 22nd Jun

Have A Nice Day wins in the evening

His starting price at 14/1 may have been a doubling of the offer about him this morning, and his rider Leigh Roche may have put up 3Ibs over-weight (unable to draw his 3Ib allowance off eight stone four) but Have A Nice Day still prevailed in the Dundalk Stadium – Light Up Your Night Handicap.

After race at Down Royal Fri, 24th Jul, 2015 (1st)

we have been trying from February to run her and also tried to breed from her but she is in good form today. I'd like to see her back at Dundalk - she worked really well there last week over six furlongs so I thought she'd run well today. She could go anywhere next over five or six furlongs on good ground.
