Ongenstown Lad let down favourite-backers when unseating last time out but he made amends in some style with an emphatic victory in the JF Hanley Handicap Hurdle at RoscommonTue 02nd Aug

Undertheboardwalk wins as expected

Burrenbridge springs a surprise in opener

The opening race on a bumper eight race card at Roscommon this evening, the Railway Bar 3yo Maiden Hurdle, the first juvenile hurdle of the season, went to the Kieran Purcell trained, Tom Doyle ridden, Burrenbridge Lodge at 20/1. Tue 02nd Aug

Double for Foley on an evening to remember

Why But Why and Lovers Peace (eventually finished well for fourth) may have been carried off the home turn in the "Tote Trifecta Rollover" Handicap by Cash Or Casualty but it didn't stop the former from prevailing under Shane 'Dusty' Foley. The Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny 3Ib claimer (lost his claim in the previous race) was completing a 37 and a half to one double having half-an-hour earlier scored aboard Little Arrows. Wed 29th Jun

Review fairyhouse 29th Jun

Emulous successfully conceded weight to nine rivals to pick up the third Group Three prize of her career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at FairyhouseWed 29th Jun

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 29th Jun, 2011 (1st)

He went the longest way around in the end but he still won well and I'm delighted. He'll go for another handicap now and end up three-year-old hurdling. He was only meant to be a sprinter but I got the distances all wrong and I'd say he'd go a mile and a half.
