Aidan O'Brien saw Elusive Pimpernel frank St Nicholas Abbey's Racing Post Trophy win in the Craven and had further cause to cheer when Full Of Hope took Tipperary's Irish Stallion Farms EBF MaidenThu 15th Apr

Dawson off the mark on Explorer

Raymond Dawson (a 16-year-old from Celbridge, County Kildare) registered the first winner of his career on only his second ride when he guided Polar Explorer to a two length success in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap. Thu 15th Apr

After race at Tipperary Thu, 15th Apr, 2010 (1st)

He did it well enough but it was an ordinary contest. Raymond came to us during his summer holidays and only signed on this year. He now thinks he is Frankie Dettori!
