Reports in which City Hustler (USA) was mentioned

20/1 Sligo brace for O'Connell

Eddie O'Connell, who recorded a double here in early May, repeated the feat when he got Kingsmoss, trained by his boss, James Lambe, home by two and a half lengths in the Martinstown Opportunity Maiden Hurdle at Sligo. The Kildare 5Ib claimer had earlier been successful aboard City Hustler for Sean Thornton. Thu 05th Aug

Hustler toughest in the west again

Eddie O'Connell is certainly a rider that racegoers in the West have become very familiar with this summer after a double at Sligo and a treble at Ballinrobe and the young Kildare five pound claimer struck again at Cleveragh aboard top-weight City Hustler in the Leo McMorrow Memorial Handicap Hurdle. Thu 05th Aug

129/1 treble for O'Connell in incident packed race

If young Kildare rider Eddie O'Connell, a recent recruit to agent Niall Cronin, thought things couldn't get any better after partnering City Hustler and Vivaldi to victory, he was wrong, as he galvanised the latter's stable companion, Yachvili into a winning run in the Ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle at Ballinrobe. Tue 20th Jul

Review ballinrobe 20th Jul

Hail Caesar was highly tried on the level when with Aidan O'Brien but he now seems to have found his forte over obstacles, claiming a first success at BallinrobeTue 20th Jul

O'Connell doubles up in the West again

Eddie O'Connell, who has recently moved to agent, Niall Cronin, is a rider who is no doubt fond of his travels to the West and after partnering a double at Sligo in May, he repeated the feat at Ballinrobe when the same horse that completed his brace in Sligo, Vivaldi, did the needful again in the Eamon Sheridan Plant Hire Novice Hurdle. Tue 20th Jul

Hustler toughs it out under O'Connell

City Hustler may have been very easy in morning trading as all the action centred around Jack Cool but that favourite never looked likely as the former (a gamble on track from 7s into 9/2) battled off Get It On by three parts of a length in the Yolanda O'Gorman Memorial Handicap Hurdle at Ballinrobe. Tue 20th Jul

After race at Sligo Thu, 5th Aug, 2010 (1st)

This is our third winner on the track, all courtesy of this fellow. We've had about fifteen in points. We'll go to Downpatrick now on Sunday with City Hustler.
