Reports in which Gortnagros (IRE) was mentioned

Gortnagros lands Limerick finale

John Joe Walsh had his first success of the campaign when Trixie prevailed at Thurles last Thursday and the Doneraile, Co. Cork handler struck again with Gortnagros, who ran out a comprehensive three length winner of the concluding Limerickraces.ie Online Booking Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race. Sun 08th Nov

After race at Limerick Sun, 8th Nov, 2009 (1st)

I'm delighted for the owner, John Joyce, a retired chemist from Mallow, as this is his third attempt to get a winner. This is his first ever winner with his third horse. She has improved from Clonmel, where she'd have won if there had been a proper gallop. She liked the ground and she might go for a winners race though jumping will be her game. She fell one day in Lismore in a point-to-point when she was going well and she'll make a chaser.
