There'll be more days to Celebrate too
Let's Celebrate (Mark Walsh) sets off up the run-in with Sydney Thompson in the background

Bred by Noreen McManus out of a full-sister to Moscow Flyer, Let's Celebrate a winner 'between the flags' for Ronnie O'Leary, is a nice young prospect for the 'green and gold,' and trainer Mouse Morris, as he showed when landing the Killinan Maiden Hurdle at Thurles under Mark Walsh.
This two miler was supposed to be all about triple bumper winning mare Shesafoxylady on her hurdling bow. The 4/9 (from 4/11) shot's jumping didn't really pass the test though, and in the end she could manage no better than fourth.
A slight mistake at the second last threatened to derail Let's Celebrate's bid for glory.
However the 7/1 chance (from 8s) ultimately saw off Never Complain (6s into 9/2) by three lengths.
"He's had a few problems and he's a real chasing type of horse," remarked Morris in the aftermath. (AM & EM)
