Toto Too good for bumper rivals

The Jim Ryan Memorial INH Flat Race was a match according to the market and so it proved as 1/2 favourite Toto Too and Royal Hollow moved clear of seven other rivals inside the final quarter-mile.
The odds-on 'jolly', runner-up on debut on the final day of the Galway festival, was shaken up to lead over a furlong out by John Gleeson and quickly asserted to account for Royal Hollow by a length and a-quarter.
Peter Fahey trains the half-brother to three winners who is owned by Basil Holian.
Fahey said: "We went to Galway for a winners' bumper and I know we were getting a weight allowance, but we bumped into a good one of Willie's (Mullins). He did it well today and I think he is a nice horse.
"I wouldn't have minded going to England for one of the graded bumpers but with the recent rule changes most are now for four and five-year-olds. We'll see what is coming up here but he could mix it with the Flat and over hurdles.
"It is great for Basil and Bernie (Holian) who are great supporters of the yard. It's a pity we couldn't get them a winner at Galway but we've made up for it today."
