Gambled Lady In Lavender lands Limerick's opener

Rachael gave her a good ride — she's a good girl to ride there's no doubt about it. She never settled in Mallow and was unlucky: I don't know what happened, she's always free but we put a hood on her today and it settled her. They went a good gallop which was also a big help as well. She has a bit of foot though, and might prefer a bit of better ground. Her owner Conor O'Brien is a vet in Fermot and is flying overhead at the moment. He's coming home from Vienna and couldn't be here today. He said to me 'ye'll get on fine without me, I won't be riding her!

Blackmore completes opening races Limerick double

he won impressively and the track and ground suited and Rachael knows him inside out. We have him entered for a 2m4f conditions hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday and we'll see how he comes out of this. Rachael is in top form and is a brilliant girl.

Wily Walsh completes gambled Limerick double

I was fancying him; he was a point to point winner and stays well. I'd say he mightn't like that ground but stays well and kept at it.

Dounikos delivers in dramatic Limerick feature

Gracemount delivers for Dunne & Doyle

that mare owes me nothing and that's my first Christmas winner. She does everything so easy and it's great for her owners, the Kavanagh family.

Patsio causes 20/1 at Limerick

we were lucky not to be brought down at the third last but he jumped and travelled great and thankfully it worked out for him.

Byrnes' favourite wins Limerick's bumper

she loves the ground and while she hasn't a whole lot of speed, she can go the same speed on good ground as she can on that ground. Her run in Gowran was a good run and I'll go for a winners' bumper next as she's not great to jump.
