Reports in which Alaivan (IRE) was mentioned

Review fairyhouse 29th Jan

Alaivan could be heading for the Cheltenham Festival after a relatively straightforward victory over Carlito Brigante in a two-horse race for the feature event at FairyhouseSat 29th Jan

Montan makes it 2 for Martin & Carberry

Tony Martin and Paul Carberry both recorded their second successes of the afternoon at Fairyhouse when combining with Montan (6/1 into 9/2), the winner of the New Tote Daily Double Beginners Chase. Sat 29th Jan

Alaivan wins his match with Carlito

They may have had identical ratings but punters were of the strong opinion that Alaivan (4/7 in the morning into 1/3) would have Carlito Brigante's measure in the match for the opening Tote Placepot Races 1 to 6 Fairyhouse Hurdle. Sat 29th Jan

Review naas 24th Nov

Alaivan made a triumphant return to the racecourse when scooping Listed honours at NaasWed 24th Nov

Alaivan back with a bang

Thomas Barr, Edward O'Grady and Andrew McNamara who suffered a reverse in the second race with Osana, didn't have long to dwell on that defeat as Alaivan, hammered in the market, justified the confidence in the Fishery Lane Hurdle at Naas. Wed 24th Nov

Review fairyhouse 20th Feb

Alaivan is Paddy Power's 5-1 joint-favourite for the Triumph Hurdle after his breathless success in the Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at FairyhouseSat 20th Feb

Alaivan books Cheltenham ticket

The Edward O'Grady trained Alaivan set himself up for his Triumph Hurdle bid with a comprehensive 17 lengths win in the Grade 2 Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse today. Sat 20th Feb

Review leopardstown 26th Dec

Sizing Europe extended his winning run over fences when landing the Bord na Mona with Nature Novice Chase - but the result could have been different but for Captain Cee Bee's fallSat 26th Dec

Carlito impresses at Leopardstown

Review gowran park 11th Dec

Alaivan starred in a 51-1 treble for jockey Andrew McNamara at Gowran Park, in the process leaping to the head of the betting for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with an impressive jumping debutFri 11th Dec

Cheeky treble for McNamara

Andrew McNamara stole the show at Gowran Park with a 51/1 treble. He completed the hat-trick on Cheeky in the Gowran Park Racing Club 2010 Maiden Hurdle having earlier partnered Alaivan and Luska Lad to victory. Fri 11th Dec

Luska Lad back on track

It is amazing what one below-par run can do to the betting public's view of a horse and there is little doubt that without a poor effort at Thurles to his name a fortnight back, Luska Lad would have been a short-priced favourite for the Chia Booster Novice Hurdle. Fri 11th Dec

Alaivan off the mark in style

Alaivan has long since been touted as one of the more exciting recruits to the winter game from racing on the flat and he didn't let anyone down on his hurdling debut in the Fancy A Festive Flutter 3-y-o Hurdle. Fri 11th Dec

Johnny Murtagh enjoyed a stroll on Mastercraftsman but, 24 hours later, had to work much harder in order to complete a Classic double on Again in the Boylesport.com Irish 1000 GuineasSun 24th May

Murtagh completes Curragh hat-trick

Aidan O'Brien's dominance of the Irish Classic scene ended when he failed to win his tenth consecutive domestic Classic in the 1000 Guineas earlier in the day, but the Ballydoyle trainer did saddle Grand Ducal to win the Group 3 Airlie Stud Gallinule Stakes at The Curragh today. Sun 24th May

Oxx/Kinane continue hot streak

Sea The Star's trainer/jockey combination of John Oxx and Mick Kinane added the icing to yesterday's Newmarket triumph when winning the Gowran Park Classic Trial at Gowran today, with Alaivan. Sun 03rd May

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 29th Jan, 2011 (1st)

It was a pity the race cut up so much. It is tricky with second season horses to find opportunities and for me this race served its purpose. He would have otherwise had to run in the Red Mills or the Irish Champion Hurdle. It was tragic that this race wasn't better supported. He is in the Tote Gold Trophy and he is in at Cheltenham but he'll hardly do both.

E J O'Grady

After race at Naas Wed, 24th Nov, 2010 (1st)

It's not easy to place these four-year-olds. He is a nice horse but I don't really know where he'll go next. The good two miler at Leopardstown is the only race for him at Christmas. Anyway I'm pleased he's won here.

E J O'Grady

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 20th Feb, 2010 (1st)

Alaivan disappointed us at Christmas but was obviously beaten by a very good horse. However, I think today's win, and his debut win, were better performances than his Christmas run and his jumping has improved too.

E J O'Grady

After race at Roscommon Mon, 6th Jul, 2009 (1st)

He loved the trip and the ground. I'm not sure where he'll go now.

Miss Keller goes well on soft ground and has a bit of speed. She may step up to Listed company now, although it is tough that she will have to face older fillies. She is a nice filly with a nice pedigree.

John M Oxx

After race at Gowran Park Sun, 3rd May, 2009 (1st)

Alaivan had been working like he would do that! He was receiving a maiden's allowance today but won well.
