Review fairyhouse 29th Jun

Emulous successfully conceded weight to nine rivals to pick up the third Group Three prize of her career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at FairyhouseWed 29th Jun

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 29th Jun, 2011 (1st)

He went the longest way around in the end but he still won well and I'm delighted. He'll go for another handicap now and end up three-year-old hurdling. He was only meant to be a sprinter but I got the distances all wrong and I'd say he'd go a mile and a half.
