One Good Cookie

Tue 17th Mar 2009, 16:34

One Cool Cookie successfully conceded weight all-round in the Guinness Chase under Davy Russell, an event that saw 4/5 favourite, Arbor Supreme having to settle for third.

Ridden with more restraint than usual, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned chestnut came through to lead at the last and went on to account for Selection Box by a length and a half.

This three miles two furlongs is the furthest that One Cool Cookie has won over, though he had won a point-to-point. Of course he was bought after that for a large sum and he is a full-brother to 2006 John Durkan Chase winner, In Compliance.

One Cool Cookie is a winner in Grade One company too, successful in the 2007 Powers Gold Cup.

Successful handler, Charlie Swan said: "He is a 149-rated horse and it is grand to have won two races with him this year. He has that Grade 1 penalty that doesn't make life easy for him. He'll go now for the Irish Grand National. He is a grand horse and I wouldn't mind having a few more like him." (EM)

My Racing Story. Don Browne

I was born and bred in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork and my father had point-to-pointers. He never trained, but he had horses in training. A thing I always wanted to do was train my own horse. I was about 21 before I sat on a racehorse. My father had a point-to-pointer and said to me to crack on and take a chance training him. I then bought a horse with my brother and trained it. She stayed racing, but was never much good. Cloneen Princess was my first winner in the millennium year at Carrigtwohill. She was a point-to-point winner for my father. I bought Cloneen Storm and he won for me as a five-year-old and a six-year-old. That fella won four point-to-points. After him, the licence went. I had another horse for my father, Cloneen Choice, and I took out the licence for him. He won three point-to-points and he came third in a hunters chase in Killarney in 2017.
