Roseys Hollow wins Tipperary's opener

J.P. McManus' Roseys Hollow justified 30/100 favouritism to win Tipperary's Walter Hennessy Mares Beginners Chase today, notching her first success since landing a Grade 3 hurdle in February 2021.

Odds-on morning-favourite Finest Evermore was a 9.30am withdrawal (reported coughing) from today's race, which was the first in three consecutive days of racing at the course, and in the race Roseys Hollow's task was further simplified as second-favourite Return To Base exited at the second fence.

Winning jockey Simon Torrens made all on nine-year-old Roseys Hollow who scored comfortably from Thecornerhouse

Afterwards Sweeney stated “it was a small field and how good a race it was I don't know but it was great to win.

“This is different conditions that running on heavy winter ground and she'll continue to run in novice chases provided the ground is safe. Hopefully she can build on this.

“She and Showurappreciation, which won at Ballinrobe in May, are the two horses Mr McManus has with me.”
