Doyle's horses continue in flying form

From a Flat family but closely related to Eddie Cawley's hurdle and chasing winner, Drop Anchor, Thinkitplanitdoit impressed on his first start for in-form Liz Doyle, on racecourse debut, when taking the Waterford & Tramore (Ladies Pro-Am) INH Flat Race under Lisa O'Neill.

With odds-on favourite Taras Call failing to match his previous efforts, eventually coming home in fourth position, it was left to 8/1 shot Thinkitplanitdoit to career away in the final furlong for a nine and a half length win from Bohernagore Catch The Magic didn't get a trouble free run and she was two and three parts off them in third.

On his previous appearance in public the successful Saffron Walden gelding pulled up in a point-to-point at Glenbane in November 2014 when with Denis Hayes.

"He goes well and he is a beauty to look at. I just had his wind done during the summer, he just needed it tweaked," disclosed Miss Doyle.

"Saffron Walden out of a Grand Lodge mare - I thought he would love the ground.

"I'm aiming low with everything to try and get their heads in front, and it's working a treat.

"This fella works very, very well. I didn't have him in a schooling bumper, he was just at the beach once, so I didn't know how good he was.

"I just hope we aren't coming into a bit of wrong ground for him but it's nice to get the job done.

"He jumps great, he just wants nice ground and he has a bit of class about him. It takes a nice horse to win first time out, what I call first time out, around a place like this, and hopefully he is a bit better than a normal Tramore bumper winner.

"That's three bumper winners in-a-row now (following on from Whizzzey Rascal at Downpatrick and Last Goodbye at Roscommon)."

The Stewards fined J.T.R.Dreaper, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Den Then in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91.

The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
