Fahey scores first-time with Cybersnow

Cybersnow off the track since last September and having his first start for Seamus Fahey, took the Europe Hotel & Resort Handicap under in form Shane 'Dusty' Foley.

A Sligo maiden hurdle winner when with Barry Potts, the chestnut son of Royal Anthem (standing now at Tullogher House Stud) led under two furlongs out and he stayed on well to beat Oodachee by one and three parts of a length.

Fahey who also saddled the fifth placed, Marikhar here, said: "That is our first winner since Market Watcher in January and it is great to get it. Our horses have been running well without winning. The two mile handicap in Galway is the plan. We thought the ground had gone too soft for him but he seemed to get through it better than the rest of them."

Favourite backers had a disappointment with Havetoavit reluctant to race, eventually giving up the will to race going out on the last circuit.
