- O'Connor doubles up on Stand Up And Fight

O'Connor doubles up on Stand Up And Fight

Aine O'Connor followed up her Killarney success on Stand Up And Fight with another wide margin win in the Join The Listowel Races Supporters Club Hunters Chase at Listowel.
The Enda Bolger trained ten-year-old is a class above the opposition in these summer races but for a brief period it looked as though he had a battle on his hands.
Firstly, The Red Menace and latterly, Stamp Your Feet threw down challenges but to O'Connor's credit, she held her mount together. One by one, the dangers fell away as O'Connor, who is due to marry former jockey Niall Madden in the coming weeks, coasted home.
Trainer Enda Bolger said; "it is a pity there isn't another race left for him but that's it now for the season. The race obviously cut up a bit but I liked the way he went away again in the end.
"The better horses are gone out of the picture at this time of year so we'll hope to repeat the dose next year when we'll have a Mrs Madden riding him!"
