Reports in which Golden Sunset (GB) was mentioned

Golden Sunset back up north for a return to form

Golden Sunset returned to form to win the Tote Supporting Downpatrick Racecourse Handicap Chase for trainer Niall Madden and jockey Simon Torrens. Sun 22nd Mar

Golden double for McManus as Sunset comes good

On his fourth outing in the famous green and gold Golden Sunset (9s into 6s) landed a bit of a touch to bring up a J P McManus double at Down Royal in the Molson Coors Handicap Chase. Tue 28th Jan

Landmark double for veteran trainer Austin

Cloughjordan trainer Willie Austin saddled his first ever double when successfully teaming up for the second time on the afternoon with rider Trevor Ryan to take the Tramore Racecourse Directors Handicap Chase with Highest Benefit. Tue 10th Dec

After race at Down Royal Tue, 28th Jan, 2020 (1st)

I think the ground was probably too heavy for him the last day (when pulled up in Fairyhouse). He stayed at it well today,. It was slow motion out there, he's a low-grade handicap horse. He'll go for something similar. I'm delighted for Simon (Torrens), he's done plenty of work for me.
