Wed 21st Jul 2010, 21:19

Maybe Grace followed up on her recent win at Fairyhouse when taking the concluding ITBA & Gain Horse Feeds Supporting The Irish Racing Industry Handicap under a fine ride by Fran Berry.

Berry who carried the familiar colours of Hayley O’Connor hit the front entering the straight and stayed on strongly to record a three length win over Rassi Maguire

Eamon Leigh who was representing the winner trainer said afterwards: “She’s on a roll and improving all of the time.”

“We thought she wouldn’t handle the ground but Fran [Berry] was delighted with her.”

“She might go for the McDonogh Handicap now, we’ll have to discuss it in the morning and see.”

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.
