Reports in which Lightnin Hopkins (IRE) was mentioned

Review fairyhouse 3rd Jul

Fiesolana continued her fine run of form when completing a hat-trick of wins in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at FairyhouseWed 03rd Jul

Another winner for in-form Lyons

Harlem Shake represented Sean Jones and Ger Lyons with a deal of credit when third in the Fairyhouse opener. Half an hour later the owner and trainer went a couple of places better with Lightnin Hopkins (Colin Keane up) in the Family Day Sunday 14th July Handicap. Wed 03rd Jul

Review naas 6th Aug

The Breda Miley Race at Naas turned into a tactical affair, with Ger Lyons' Lightnin Hopkins (13-8 favourite) taking top spot after racing alone up the stands railMon 06th Aug

Solo run reaps rewards for Hopkins

A bold move to race alone on the stand's side paid off handsomely for Lightnin Hopkins in the six furlong conditions race at Naas. Mon 06th Aug

21/1 Naas double for Lyons & Carroll

Boom To Bust (7s into 9/2) brought up a double for Ger Lyons and Gary Carroll when landing the penultimate race at Naas, the Xeretec Supporting North Kildare Chamber Handicap. Wed 27th Jun

Review naas 27th Jun

Caponata (3-1) maintained her unbeaten record with a very likeable display in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Naas Oaks TrialWed 27th Jun

Carroll goes to plan b with Hopkins

Chris Hayes (reported that his mount hit ridges in running and became unbalanced), rider of odds-on favourite, Nurpur, won't look back on the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Auction Maiden, the opener at Naas, with any great fondness but Gary Carroll on Lightnin Hopkins kept it simple from the front and he got the job done by three parts of a length. Wed 27th Jun

Review fairyhouse 13th Jun

Elusive Ridge showed his appreciation for a drop in class as he ground out a victory in the feature jogforjockeys.ie Race at FairyhouseWed 13th Jun

Gamble landed as Rocker makes all

The Eddie Lynam trained Boston Rocker landed a gamble as she took the opening race, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden, at Fairyhouse this evening under Shane Foley. Wed 13th Jun

After race at Naas Mon, 6th Aug, 2012 (1st)

I ran one in the first which I liked. He was drawn two and got stuck on the ground on the inside. It's bottomless,. I said to Gary we might look very stupid with what I'm asking u to do. He told me what the other jockeys intended and I said I didn't care he had to come wide. We had nothing to lose. If he had raced on the inside he wouldn't have won. He hates the ground. Historically the best ground here when it's soft is out wide. It's as bad as I've seen all summer. Very tacky. I was happy he was thereabouts but where I watch it the angle is horrendous. That win was a bonus and we'll step him up to stakes company now.

After race at Naas Wed, 27th Jun, 2012 (1st)

He's a typical one of ours in that he improved for the run. The plan was to take a lead today and not to do the donkey work but you always have to have a plan b. He's a listed type of horse and he'll improve again for that. He'd be better on quicker ground. We've been struggling to get our two-year-olds out this year but patience is paying off.
