28/1 shot Take All continues Fahey's fine run

Take All sprang a 28/1 shock in the beginners chase at Wexford when prevailing in a thrilling three-way finish. Mt Leinster went to post a 6/5 shot and cut out the running under Danny Mullins in the two-miler.

He was pressed after a mistake two from home, where the eventual winner was also untidy.

Both Cayd Boy and Take All were on the tail of the front-runner over the last and there was nothing between the trio on the run-in.

Seamus Fahey 's charge found more for Kevin Sexton late on to secure a length victory over Cayd Boy with a head back to the long time leader.

"That's three winners in-a-row and it's unreal,” said Fahey.

“We have eight horses to run and if we had eighty, we'd be after winning thirty races over the weekend! The horses are all in great form and any of them that have ability are running up to that. 

"He was a nice horse last year and was unlucky not to win over hurdles here, he tipped up at the last, but you'd know by looking at him that he was always going to be a chaser.

“When I saw the quality of this race, I was half thinking of side stepping it. A lot of chases are restricted though, and correctly so, so when this opportunity came, we kind of had to run.

“It worked out great for us, he jumped well and handled the ground. He made one bad mistake but other than that he done it very well.

"I'm delighted for Jimmy. Jimmy's father was champion point-to-point rider in the midlands in the 40s and 50s, so Jimmy would know a bit about the game. He bred him as well and so it'll be a huge boost to him.

"We don't have a plan but we will have great sport making it now. I didn't look beyond today and I thought if we ran well I'd start planning then.

“I think there might be a novice in Fairyhouse or Navan in three weeks time that might suit him. I'm not sure if he'll qualify for it or not, I'll have to see. I think we will keep him over two miles for the moment anyway.”
