Owner's suggestion and drop in trip works wonders for Run

The Two-Mile Borris Handicap Hurdle at Thurles saw an exciting conclusion with local mare Theatre Run eventually coming out on top. Thu 07th Nov

After race at Thurles Thu, 21st Nov, 2024 (1st)

She has been running well but during the summer, when the ground had been well watered, she just stopped - she wants top of the ground. She had been in to run at every abandoned meeting here and was then due to be left off but instead we went to Limerick on Tuesday where they watered and it rained. It turned into tacky ground but Riche Deegan (jockey) didn't murder her once she was beaten. I said to the owner that we'd bring her today and whatever happens, happens. She is in here again next Thursday and will run if she is ok.

Brendan Maurice Walsh

After race at Punchestown Wed, 13th Oct, 2021 (1st)

Last year she was just not right in herself. The horses are well this year and she is after improving.

Brendan Walsh, representing John J Walsh

After race at Clonmel Fri, 11th Jun, 2021 (1st)

We were waiting for a bit of nice ground with her and were lucky to get in (as first reserve). She has a low action and had done well on soft ground but just couldn't handle heavy ground. That's her job and she'll stay going as long as we can. She won handy enough.
