Red Pearl makes a great start

Keys Pride won no less than eight races for Tipperary trainer Stephen Ryan in the 'noughties.' It looks as though the Thurles operator has unearthed another smart mare in the shape of Red Pearl (33/1), victorious in the finale at Ballinrobe, under Ambrose McCurtin. Mon 25th May

After race at Down Royal Fri, 31st Aug, 2018 (1st)

She was very game and he (Davy Russell) said he was always going to win. I thought turning in we were in trouble. On that ground she just wants to go a little further. That is her ground. She was bred and owned by a man called Richie Maher who died in April and we are dedicating that win to him. I'd say two and a half miles handicapping now, it depends on the ground. We went to Galway and I knew going to Galway I was in trouble, the ground was just gone for her. She's decent enough on good ground. She loves to mark the top of it. I have eight in at the minute - I lost two during the summer, one in Roscommon and one in Tramore and that hit me hard. I won a bumper in May with another horse and I have a few nice horses.
