Review downpatrick 18th Dec
Michael Hourigan has always thought plenty of Awkward Moment (15-8 favourite) and he finally repaid some of that faith in the INH Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle at DownpatrickFri 18th Dec
Moment starts to repay faith
Awkward Moment started to repay his trainer's opinion of him when running out a cosy winner of the maiden hurdle at Downpatrick. Fri 18th Dec
He's always wanted better ground,. He got a touch of a leg when he won his maiden hurdle. If he's ok in the morning I'll probably enter him for the 2m5f novice handicap chase at Fairyhouse. Winners' of ones are very scarce. He was always doing the best he could to jump out of heavy ground but he just wasn't able to.
Michael Hourigan
I bred him myself and sold him thinking he was a very good horse but my horses just weren't running well,. Hand on heart I still think he could be a very good horse but today is the first day he's showed that he's a good horse. I just hope he can justify the colours. I'd love to think he could be half as good as Beef Or Salmon but a third would do!. He's only five turning six so will keep to hurdles this season but chasing is his game and he wants better ground. He's done his job today in a good spot for Joe.
