Well backed Brian takes Fairyhouse maiden

The Garrett Power trained Yes Sir Brian was the second consecutive well backed winner at Fairyhouse today, rewarding players at 10/1 this morning with a 5/1 win in the Promote Your Business At Fairyhouse In 2016 Maiden Hurdle.

The keen running son of Brian Boru was prominent throughout under jockey Mark Enright, who secured a fine jump at the final flight before the pair went on to beat Hurricane Darwin by four lengths.

Trainer Power was on lead-up duties but winning owner/breeder Thomas O'Neill, from Carrick-on-Suir, briefly commented “my last runner here was also a winner, Greenhill Millie won a bumper (in 2010) for Philip Fenton."

Yes Sir Brian's well supported win was following up the half hour earlier win of similarly well backed Crafty Power in the opener.
