After their success at Ballinrobe on Monday evening with Drifting Back, a good week got better for Limerick father and son, Eric and Conor McNamara, as the Niall Earls-owned Bear Claws triumphed in the Support Tramore Business Maiden Hurdle. Thu 13th AugNew silks prove lucky for Elliott

The Andy Oliver trained Bear Claws came from last to first to claim the finale at Navan, the Yellow Furze Handicap. Wed 09th Oct

it is all down to Calum and what a ride he gave him. It was his first time riding at his local track and he gave him a super ride. He was patient, got the opening and stole a few lengths entering the straight and it was the winning of the race. He is a fine young fella and his mum and dad can be very proud of him. He has spent the last month in David O'Meara's in England but even in that time he looks to have grown again. We've been lucky with many local lads from Rathkeale who rode for us and turned out to be fine riders. They've done very well for themselves and this fella is able to ride as well.

After race at Navan Wed, 9th Oct, 2019 (1st)
He did it well. He had an outside draw (in 24), which wasn't ideal, and Billy gave him a lovely ride,. He sat in and let him find his feet. He came there on the bridle. I was watching the other horse Watchman and he seemed to come off the bridle just around the corner. Then I saw the other horse, I was watching him then up the straight as I just knew he had come on to it. Billy said he got a lovely run up the inside, picked up again and away he went. To be fair to Watchman he stayed on well to finish third, the two of them ran well. The winner has been knocking on the door. He's entered in the sales, he wants a good cut in the ground and he wants a distance so he'd be an ideal horse to go hurdling. We'll see what else there is coming up. I think there is maybe only one other race he's eligible for and that might be after the sales. We'll see what happens but at least he's won.
