'Fish man' takes Springfield Way

Just the one joint favourite obliged on the marathon 8-race card at Naas today as Springfield Way served up a 12/1 shock in the closing bumper. Mon 01st Aug

After race at Downpatrick Wed, 21st Dec, 2011 (1st)

to be honest I thought we were coming here for third place! . I blame myself for his run the last day as we didn't jump out in front and he pulled the arms out of Tom. I have a three miles novice handicap hurdle at the Fairyhouse Festival in mind longterm and he'd prefer better ground.

John C McConnell

After race at Naas Mon, 1st Aug, 2011 (1st)

He has won two point to points and was unlucky in a race won by Mossey Joe as he fell when leading. The syndicate are also from Pilltown, Co Kilkenny and my wife Joan heads it up.
