The Mouse Morris trained Horendus Hulabaloo kicked off the Limerick Christmas with a win in the

opening Anglo Printers Maiden Hurdle at Limerick today, scoring under Mark Enright.

The winner, carrying the colours of Gigginstown House Stud, survived a Stewards' Enquiry (into minor interference in the closing stages) and Enright later stated “the ground is very testing and he got a little tired in the closing stages.

“He travelled well and I was very comfortable all the way. On better ground, he'd have gone away from them a bit easier.”
