Eric McNamara, narrowly denied a double at Limerick yesterday, kept the momentum going when sending out course and distance winner, Faltering Fullback to land odds of 9/10 (from 6/4 in a place) in the Moycarkey Hurdle. Thu 29th Jan
Before the race I thought Questions Answered had a really good chance and I really fancied him. He ran a fabulous race to finish second,. That was a bit out of the blue in fairness and Faltering Fullback came back to what he once promised. He won a novice chase here before and was a very good horse but just lost his way. The three miles and bottom weight just helped him and he came back to form at the right time. It's been a great race for me. We won it twice with Ponmeoath and he's back today. This is his sixth run in the Kerry National and his ninth year to run here which is a great achievement. He didn't run a bad race (in eighth).

The horse is named after a part owner, Michael Fitzsimmons, who has a pub in London of the same name. This fellow is a lovely prospect and he jumped very well apart from one or two slight novicey mistakes. He has done a lot of schooling in the last month. He is slightly better going right-handed. He'll have at least six weeks off before his next run as he is a lean horse and he just needs a bit of time. Hopefully he is a horse with a future.
E McNamara
The other horse came to him in the straight and we were caught for a bit of toe but our fellow battled it out well. I think he's more of a 2 ¿ mile or a 3 mile horse. He's just a stayer with great cruising speed and he'll be a very exciting horse over fences. He will have a break now and we'll probably bring him back in October and we'll go straight over fences with him then.
E McNamara
he is a nice horse although it was important to ride him prominently over this two miles trip today. Paul (Townend) gave him a super ride, but we've come to expect that with him now.
E McNamara
He did it well. I have seen him work better at home, but after all the tests he was one hundred percent in every way. Paddy says he wants half a mile further and hopefully there will be more improvement to come. He should have a bright future over fences. (EM)
