Navan feature one to remember for Monaghan family

Midnight Soprano shortened up a little bit in morning trading on the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Handicap at Navan but in the face of support for others the lightly-raced four-year-old was sent off a 25/1 chance. She defied that price under Marc Monaghan by outpointing Sun Disc and Make My Heart Sing by half a length and a neck. Wed 19th Oct

Dessie Hughes is enjoying a great time with his jumping team, and the Curragh handler extended his advantage as the winning-most National Hunt trainer so far this campaign by chalking up his 17th victory of the season when Sun Disc took the Smirnoff Maiden Hurdle. Fri 26th Aug

After race at Down Royal Fri, 9th Sep, 2011 (1st)

It's nice to win a flat race for John. I'd say the last flat winner we had together was Dellersbeck (1981) in the Lincoln ridden by Wally Swinburn. We'll see what mark this filly gets over hurdles and what she goes up for winning tonight. A winners of one hurdle might be difficult enough for her. Mark claims 7 and that'd be useful if we go on the flat again.
