Emily Gray on the mark again

Emily Gray made it three wins in her last four starts when landing the Guinness Mares Handicap Hurdle at Limerick today, for trainer Timmy Hyde and regular rider Martin Ferris.

The daughter of Flemensfirth battled gamely in the straight to see off the challenge of Good As Gold

Afterwards Hyde stated “she has been creeping up the weights for a while now but seems to go on any ground and we'll keep her going as long as we get some more sport out of her!

“When I bought he she was a little thing but she's not that little anymore and I'm not sure whether we'll give her a holiday now or wait for a while; I was thinking about running her over fences at Tramore on Wednesday but it will come too soon.”
