Carberry a Giantofaman amongst riders

Stolberg wins on his debut under Burke
The Andrew McNamara owned and trained newcomer Stolberg show good battling qualities to win the last at Listowel this afternoon, the Bank Of Ireland bumper. Mon 17th Sep
He jumped great for Paul. He's improved. He goes well in front, though you could probably ride him any way now. There are plenty of novice races for him at Fairyhouse and Punchestown,.
D T Hughes
It worked (the blinkers). He was lucky he met the last on a good stride and that was a big help to him. We decided that we may as well go on with him today as he wasn't going to come from behind. He doesn't seem to like passing horses . mind you he doesn't like them passing him either.
