Neil Ryan won on his first ride for trainer John Queally at Clonmel today as Costanuci (16/5) followd up a Listowel festival win with another success in the Clonmel (Mares) Handicap Hurdle.

It was a third win since May for the Doyen-mare, which travelled strongly and scored comfortably by a length and three-parts from Stormalong

Trainer Queally reported “she received 8lb for winning at Listowel so I wanted to claim off her and Neil (Ryan), who is with Noel Meade, came well recommended.”

He added “she is a progressive mare and the ground was a lot better than I thought it would be, which was a big help to her - it is beautiful jumping ground.

“We'll run her once more and give her a break as she has been busy all year. She has got strong this year and will jump a fence maybe after Christmas.”
