Carroll celebrates birthday in style

Sat 22nd Aug 2009, 15:24

Man of the moment Gary Carroll celebrated his 20th birthday by partnerning a quick fire double at Fairyhouse.

The leading apprentice completed the brace when giving Karma Lina a positive front running ride in the Ballybin Fillies Maiden.

Carroll kicked on early in the straight aboard Tom Hogan's charge and she kept on strongly to post a three-and-a-half length win over Mirabile Dictu

Trainer Hogan was absent. Carroll had kicked off the day by winning on Champion Boy in the opening Blanchardstown Handicap.
