O'Brien scores with Ballyadam Lee

Sun 31st May 2009, 15:42

The Terence O'Brien trained Ballyadam Lee ran out a 3 length win of The Bryan MacMahon Centenary Celebration Handicap Hurdle under Kevin Coleman.

Winning trainer O'Brien said, "He's an ex Paul Nolan horse, he has had leg trouble in the past. It's his 2nd run for me, he had a nice run back at Killarney. He is probably the best bred horse in the race, he's a 1/2 brother to Tropical Lady. He has been a little disappointing in the past but he did the job well today."

O'Brien also added, "I've had 4 winners but this lad is my first winner with my full trainer's licence I used to hold a restricted trainers licence."
