Easter Monday treble for Martin

Woman of the moment, Katie Walsh, looked like she'd bagged another winner on Livelovelaugh in the concluding Weatherbys Ireland GSB INH Flat Race, but she was caught close home as the Stephen Clements-ridden Aniable Fly completed a treble for Tony Martin at Fairyhouse.

Walsh gave it a good go from the front on Livelovelaugh, who was bidding to make it four on the day for Willie Mullins.

When the pair set sail for home early in the straight another win for the in-form combination was looking a distinct possibility, but to Aniable Fly's credit he picked up well under Clements, to chase down and eventually defeat Livelovelaugh by a length and a quarter.

"It was a great performance. It was a proper race and they went a gallop," said Martin.

"The way he picked up and quickened was impressive and there was only one horse galloping at the death.

"I couldn't be happier with him and he's a lovely horse for the future. It's great to have a good horse for the man (J P McManus) that owns him."

Martin's earlier winners were Dedigout (Paul Carberry) and I Shot The Sheriff (Paul Townend). (GC & EM)
