Carberry a Giantofaman amongst riders

We should have guessed that the genius of Paul Carberry would be the perfect accompaniment to the quirkiness of Giantofaman. Those that made the assumption were rewarded at odds of 7/1 as Dessie Hughes landed the Grade 2 Boylesports Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle at Thurles for the third year in succession.

After race at Thurles Thu, 27th Feb, 2014 (1st)

He jumped great for Paul. He's improved. He goes well in front, though you could probably ride him any way now. There are plenty of novice races for him at Fairyhouse and Punchestown,.

D T Hughes

After race at Thurles Thu, 21st Nov, 2013 (1st)

It worked (the blinkers). He was lucky he met the last on a good stride and that was a big help to him. We decided that we may as well go on with him today as he wasn't going to come from behind. He doesn't seem to like passing horses . mind you he doesn't like them passing him either.
