Review thurles 3rd Apr

Berties Dream put up a courageous front-running display to win over hurdles for the first time since the 2010 Cheltenham Festival in the feature race at ThurlesTue 03rd Apr

Gander Gallops to easy victory

Galloping Gander ran out a facile winner of the opening beginners chase at Thurles. Tue 03rd Apr

After race at Thurles Tue, 3rd Apr, 2012 (1st)

I couldn't see him beating Der Spieler but he's a consistent horse and those type of horses usually get their day,. He has a bit of maturity and experience on his side now. You would imagine with his size he'd want it soft but he wants good ground. We'll keep him going for the summer festivals now. I'm delighted for the owners, who have eight horses with me. I imagine when they bred a Sadler's Wells mare to Danehill Dancer they weren't expecting to win a beginners chase at Thurles!
