To a lot of racegoers at Navan the success of Afram Blue in division two of the thetote.com Handicap Hurdle will have come as a surprise but for those that backed him from 33/1 this morning into 16/1 the win for Niall Madden's mount will have made perfect sense. Sat 31st Mar

Afram Blue causes a surprise

After race at Limerick Sun, 10th Nov, 2013 (1st)

he (Afram Blue) is owned by my brother John McGuinness, a doctor in Dublin, who has been under the weather recently and this will be a real boost to him.

After race at Down Royal Fri, 27th May, 2011 (1st)

Who would have thought that he'd get a run?. We got a call at 2.30 to say that he was in. I didn't expect a win from him and I actually fancied the other one, Kyoto Summit, who finished 12th. He loved the ground and the distance here. He ran quite well over a mile and six at Wexford and that brought him on.
