Berry in double form

Sun 18th Apr 2010, 18:08

Fran Berry recorded a double this afternoon at Leopardstown after he won the concluding, Pinewood Handicap aboard 7/4 favourite Haralan

Berry produced the Sinndar gelding to lead under two furlongs out and kept on strongly to score by an easy three and a half lengths.

Winning trainer Oxx said afterwards: "He's lightly raced, he needs fast ground and distance."

"We will go for something similiar depending on what kind of mark he gets."

"He needs to settle a bit better, he's inclined to pull. He could be a black type horse in time."

My Racing Story. Emma Connolly

I'm from Killyon, Co Meath and always had a fascination for ponies. My mam and dad eventually gave in and I got riding lessons and then I got my own pony. Then when I was about 12 or 13, I was fortunate enough to start working for Frederick John Bowles and all I wanted was racehorses after that. I was mucking out and riding out there and doing general stable duties. That was during weekends and school holidays. I got the bug massively. I wanted to be a jockey but wasn't good enough. I had a few rides in places like Limerick and Roscommon as an amateur in bumpers. My bottle probably wasn't good enough either.
