Honourable Emperor dug deep for Joseph O'Brien to follow up his narrow maiden victory at Dundalk in January by taking the feature Chefs Kitchen Race on the all-weather trackFri 09th Mar

Bottom-weight Fairy makes the most of his mark

From early in the day Fairy Wing was the lively one in the market for the Ladbrokes Bet In Play Handicap and out on the track the five-year-old, equipped with cheek-pieces, travelled with purpose to the business end. Once asked by Shane Foley to take over from Rocky's Pride under a furlong out, he found what was required to go on and beat Aragorn Rouge by three parts of a length. Fri 24th Feb

Rocky II at Dundalk

The Garvan Donnelly trained Rocky’s Pride has been to an array of different racecourses in Ireland and Britain (where trained by four different trainers) but seems to have found his real home at Dundalk, winning his second consecutive race, the Follow Dundalk On Facebook Rated Race, at the venue.

'Dusty' drives Tajweed to long overdue win

It'd been over three years since Tajweed passed the post in front but with a man in top form on his back in the shape of Shane Foley, the six-year-old son of Pivotal consented to do the business again with a hard-fought success in the closing Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap at Naas. Wed 06th Jul

After race at Dundalk Fri, 10th Feb, 2012 (1st)

Rocky's Pride came out of the race so well last week that we let him take his chance today. He is enjoying his racing and it has suited him to be in front as he doesn't like to be knocked about. Hopefully there is another day in him and it's good to win for his owner Gerard Clarke, who is a good supporter of mine. In fact I think his last three runners have all been winners!
