Kylecrue leads He's Our Man© Photo Healy Racing
The John Ryan trained gelding Kylecrue notched up a 12th career win at Galway today as the ten year old made all for a typically game win, under jockey Conor Brassil, in the Faber Audiovisuals Handicap Hurdle.
The son of Gold Well began his career with a debut point to point win at Ryan’s own Templemore point to point track and was today pocketing another E16,297 to bring his career haul to E269,012.
His adoring trainer Ryan was understandably delighted with his latest win and said “he’s a proper class horse and those other horses were never going to pass him. He has a bit of class and is a proper, proper racehorse and is as tough as teak.
“He was left off for the summer and he’s only getting going now and is a soft ground, 2m4f horse. He has won 12 races now and also won his point to point first-time out. He has been campaigned lightly this year, particularly because he is getting older, and will now go for a big handicap now. He could go on to Cheltenham (in November) for the Paddy Power Chase and is entitled to this at thhis stage.
“He has a great pedigree and the dam is related to Willie Mullins’ good novice hurdler Adamant Approach and he has the speed and class.”
