Marnane and O'Donoghue seen to good effect

Dave Marnane was in the winners enclosure this afternoon after winning The 'Thanks to Ballinrobe Sponsors' Race with Patio ridden by Colm O'Donoghue in the colours of Habib Kozehli & Dr Farid Bordbar who travelled all the way over from Iran.

Dave Marnane trainer said, "She is a really nice filly, she was 4th in the Dubai Guineas and Oakes. She has run a few nice races for me on a couple of occasions. She won well here despite the ground being more testing than she'd like. We'll go for a Listed Race at Naas with her next."
