Reports in which Bonifacio (IRE) was mentioned

So smooth from O'Regan and Silver Tassie

Silver Tassie was strongly backed from around 7/4 this morning into 9/10 for the Midland Breeders Supporting Kilbeggan Beginners Chase and it was easy to see why after he strode to victory under Denis O'Regan. Fri 05th Sep

Seefood makes amends under Geraghty

Seefood made amends for a final fence unseat over the course last month as he ran out a convincing winner of the Kieran Kelly Memorial Beginners Chase. Sat 09th Aug

Lady surprises on first start for Nicholson

Dashing Lady sprang a 25/1 surprise in the Malton Handicap Hurdle scoring on her first start for Co Kilkenny based trainer John Nicholson. Mon 14th Jul

Mydor does the business with the cash down

Mydor landed a nice touch for connections when taking division two of the Ryans Cleaning Event Specialists Handicap Hurdle at Tipperary and, in the process, completed a successful day for trainer Tony Martin. Thu 15th May

Three riders get whip bans at Cork

Andrew Lynch, Ian McCarthy and Stephen Gray were all suspended for unnecessary use of the whip after their mounts finished out of the money in the third race at Cork this afternoon, the two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle. Sun 16th Oct

Treacy times it to perfection

Bonifacio benefitted from patient riding tactics by Tommy Treacy when returning to form in the 80-102 rated two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle at Cork. Sun 16th Oct

Review ballinrobe 20th Sep

The Hamptons, twice a winner on the Flat in sprints, showed a good turn of foot to take the Tote Placepot Races 1 to 6 Maiden Hurdle at BallinrobeMon 20th Sep

Diyla makes the breakthrough at Ballinrobe

On her fourteenth effort at her local track, Diyla finally got on the scoresheet, the Sligo specialist delighting her Ballinrobe trainer and owner Michael Flannery and Tim Kelly in the www.thetote.com Handicap Hurdle. Mon 20th Sep

Moore finally gets there with Bonifacio

Pat Kelly succeeded where two others before him had failed by getting Bonifacio to win a race as he landed the R.S.S. Document Storage Handicap Hurdle at Sligo. Sun 11th Jul

After race at Sligo Sun, 11th Jul, 2010 (1st)

I had an infection in the leg but I'm getting there now. All I can tell you about this horse is that he is very well bred and cost a lot of money at one stage. Hopefully he'll win in Killarney now as well on Tuesday. It's the owners first winner after twenty five years of trying. Pat Moore, he is from Kilcullen in County Kildare and I'm delighted for him.
