Review NAAS 25th Oct

Thyne Again, winner of the Baileys Arkle Perpetual Challenge Cup Novice Chase in January, made his class tell when romping to victory in the Woodlands Park 100 Club Poplar Square Chase at NaasSat 25th Oct

After race at Clonmel Thu, 10th Jun, 2010 (1st)

Davy Russell rode him the last two times and he felt that he had a wind problem so we fitted a tongue tie today but having said that we don't think he has a problem we have never heard him make a noise. There might be something for him at Killarney and the two mile six chase at Galway is on the cards now.

Michael Hourigan

After race at Gowran Park Wed, 6th May, 2009 (1st)

That's Adrian's 2nd winner, he's a good kid. He's only 17 but he rides well and he's a good head about him. The horse jumps like a buck and I think the better ground was a help to him and he'll probably go chasing sooner rather than later.
