Fortuna too strong for JP's pair
O Fortuna (cost 50,000 Euros as a foal), in the familiar Gerry Burke silks, kept the J P McManus-owned pair Fever Pitch and Princeton Plains at bay on the run-in to take the first divide of the Festival Hospitality Maiden Hurdle at Punchestown. Wed 16th Feb
I was a bit disappointed with him at Roscommon and maybe dropping him back in trip and the softer ground made the difference today.We'll look for something similar next and we'll stick to the Flat for the moment - he'll probably mix it with hurdles later in the year.It's nice to have a winner on the Flat for Mr McManus and Princeton Plains' half-brother Baron De'l ran a cracker earlier (third in the Premier Handicap).
Edward P Harty
That was nice. He is a nice horse and he ran a great race in the Galway Hurdle to finish fifth. We said we would give him a break after that and come here and thankfully it worked out. It was a true run race and all the main contenders were there at the last and thankfully he came out on top. Niall (Madden) did a super job. I told him to wait with him and that's exactly what he did. It's nice to have a winner for JP, he has been very good to me through the years and it's good to repay him. We have nothing specific in mind for him now, he will probably run again in a month or so. The ground was a concern today, as it is sticky but he didn't seem to mind it.
Edward P Harty
That's nice. He's a smart type and an improving horse. The handicap experience helped him,. It was a tactical race and two out they were all in with a shout. His experience stood him in good stead. He's experienced and tough and wasn't fazed by the crowd. He won smartly. I liked that and he's a nice horse.
