O'Connor makes the difference

Indifference Curve and Island Wood fought out a terrific finish to the Templemore Handicap Chase with the Mickey O'Connor trained and ridden gelding just prevailing in the closing strides. Thu 18th Nov

Gaelic Grounds makes it 2 from 2

It may have taken Gaelic Grounds a long time to get the hang of things on the racecourse proper but it is amazing what a win can do for a horse's confidence and the Clonmel winner from a month ago followed up in the Punchestown Annual Membership Handicap Chase. Wed 27th Oct

Patience pays off with Skeheenarinky

Sean O'Brien saddled his first winner since last November when Skeheenarinky caused a 16/1 surprise in the Ingoldsby (Q.R.) Handicap Steeplechase under Ciaran Fennessy at Punchestown. Thu 14th Oct

Bob brings off a gamble

Mighty Bob landed a touch in the Thoroughbred County Novice Handicap Chase for Co. Dublin trainer, Ger Farrell to give the stable a first winner since Precious Music won a private sweepstakes race at Fairyhouse back in May 2003. Thu 03rd Dec

After race at Punchestown Thu, 14th Oct, 2010 (1st)

That's my fourth winner on the track and I've had 44 in point-to-points. Sean was hopeful that the first-time blinkers would make a difference to this fellow.
