Reports in which Ephorus (USA) was mentioned

Ghareer springs a surprise

By Sinndar out of a Sadler's Wells mare, Ghareer was bred for something other than a 81-116 handicap hurdle at Leopardstown, but the John Morrison-trained seven-year-old proved up to the task to gain his first win since scoring at Saint-Cloud back in May 2007. Sun 27th Feb

'Shark' strikes again

Following on from Flying Light's victory in the bumper yesterday afternoon, Mrs Annette Mee saw her colours carried to success again in the opener at Tramore today when Ephorus made all in the David Flynn Construction Novice Handicap Hurdle. Sat 01st Jan

Hanlon & Cullen strike again

John 'Shark' Hanlon, on the mark yesterday with Star Neuville at Leopardstown, and with the Johnny Cullen-partnered Ardglen at Limerick, repeated the dose with the Wexford rider at Greenmount Park today as Ephorus landed the Signplus Handicap Hurdle. Wed 29th Dec

Review tipperary 5th Oct

Paul Flynn's fencing debutant Bremen capitalised on the fall of favourite Lucky William to land the Tipperary The Home Of Liam McCarthy Beginners ChaseTue 05th Oct

Watson retired on a high

John Kiely's yard is in irresistible form at present, and the Dungarvan trainer made it five winners in the past ten days when mum-to-be Ella Watson scored under Ruby Walsh in the two and a half miles handicap hurdle. Tue 05th Oct

After race at Tramore Sat, 1st Jan, 2011 (1st)

It's great to start off the New Year with a success. We ended last year with a winner as well - Ardglen here yesterday. We had to run him today with his penalty because he's no star. He would have struggled with what the handicapper gave him (8Ibs). I'll give Ephorus a bit of a break now and then he'll probably go chasing. Tom said it would have been his fault if he was beaten there as I'd told him to have him third or fourth. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my staff for their hard work during the spell of bad weather. They all came in every day and we had no excuses from any of them . they could have thrown in the towel, but they didn't.
