Reports in which Present Gem (IRE) was mentioned

6,299/1 Four-Timer for 'Slippers'

Niall 'Slippers' Madden and Mouse Morris probably thought things couldn't get any better after The Rebel Returns gave them a treble and double respectively in the O'Dwyer Tarmac Handicap Hurdle but half-an-hour later when Baily Rock scored in the Children's Entertainment Hurdle at odds of 20/1 it completed a 6,299/1 four-timer for the Kildare rider and a 2,519/1 treble for the Everardsgrange trainer at Tipperary. Sun 19th Jul

Sligo lucky for Gilligan

Amateur rider Brian O'Connell was continuing his good run when winning The Smirnoff Mares Q.R Maiden Hurdle Division 1 aboard the Paul Gilligan trained Present Gem at odds of 7/1. Sun 03rd May

After race at Sligo Sun, 3rd May, 2009 (1st)

This is a lucky track for me. The plan was to go over fences but she didn't get into Kilbeggan. She'll go over fences next but if we find another little hurdle race like this we'll go for that. All she does is stay, she'd stay all day. I only have her a couple of months, when we got her she was red raw with ulcers but after a course of medicine we got them cleared up.
