Trixie Makes it Four for the Punters at Limerick

Sun 28th Dec 2008, 14:47

To say Michael 'Trixie' Barry was besieged by well-wishers in the winner's enclosure following the success of his Colls Corner in the Woodlands House Hotel Handicap Hurdle would be a gross understatement. His charge had justified 11/4 favouritism to become the fourth winning market-leader in as many races.

Johnny Allen steered the Thurles winner from a week ago to a good six length victory over Wicklow Lad

Barry, an auctioneer from Fermoy, said: "I'll give him a break now for a few weeks and go for something similar then." (EM)
