Reports in which Clan Tara (IRE) was mentioned

Psycho too strong in the Beamish Stout

Clan Tara crashed out of the Grade 3 Beamish Stout Phil Sweeney Memorial Chase at an early stage leaving just three runners to battle it out in the two and a quarter miler and not surprisingly given the way the market shaped up beforehand the trio of participants had their chances two from home. However Paul Carberry pulled Psycho to the stand's side from here and it was soon apparent that he was getting the best of the argument at Thurles. Thu 06th Jan

Russell Takes Navan by Storm

Two in the Gigginstown House Stud colours and two in the silks of Paul Duffin made up a near 50/1 four-timer for Davy Russell at Navan. The fourfold was completed when Chelsea Harbour defied top-weight in the Kells Handicap Chase to help his trainer Tom Mullins to a double (scored with Made In Taipan earlier). Sat 06th Dec

Navan Treble for Russell

Davy Russell is riding at the top of his game at present and his confidence was particularly in evidence as he brought up a twelve and a half to one treble on Nuvelli in the Christmas Chase. Sat 06th Dec

Two from Two for Taipan

So impressive on his chasing bow at Naas, Made In Taipan made it two from two over the larger obstacles when bringing up a double for Davy Russell (had earlier scored on Clan Tara) in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Novice Chase. Sat 06th Dec

Clan Tara Shows Real Guts

The minimum margin separated the first two home in the opener and racegoers again weren't sure what way the verdict would swing after the conclusion of the second, the Kilberry Novice Hurdle, as Clan Tara and Head Of The Posse (got the last flight wrong) flashed by the line locked together. Sat 06th Dec

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 12th Dec, 2009 (1st)

He will not do a stroke in front. He'll gallop all over them and travel well but he's the same at home, he just pulls himself up in front,. He jumped well and travelled sweetly. We decided to do this instead of going something over Christmas. He'll probably go to Leopardstown on January 10th for a Grade 2 there.

Paul Nolan

After race at Thurles Thu, 26th Feb, 2009 (1st)

we had to decide beforehand whether to ride Clan Tara positively or drop him in and it eventually worked out well.

Paul Nolan

After race at Navan Sat, 6th Dec, 2008 (1st)

Nina (Carberry) won on him in Tralee and she said he would be the type to be suited by big staying tracks. He needs a minimum of two and a half miles and if he is okay after today he'll probably go for the graded novice hurdle at Limerick over Christmas. It was a great ride by Davy and Clan Tara be a better horse next year when he jumps a fence. (EM)
