Review limerick 17th Jun

Jessica Harrington's consistent four-year-old Bob Le Beau ran out a game winner in a driving finish to the feature Martin Molony Stakes at LimerickFri 17th Jun

Kalabaya continues McCullagh's good run

Yet another newcomer (after Roman Flight in the first and March On Rome in the second) made a winning debut at Limerick this evening as Kalabaya ran out a comfortable winner of the penultimate race on the card the Croom House Stud EBF Fillies Maiden for trainer John Oxx and rider Niall McCullagh. Fri 17th Jun

Another upset as March On Rome scores

March On Rome caused the second upset in as many races as he ran out a comfortable winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for trainer John Murphy and jockey Ben Curtis at the odds of 16/1. Fri 17th Jun

Another upset as March On Rome scores

25/1 upset as Flight overturns odds-on favourite

The market for the opening race of the evening at Limerick, the Irish Mirror Maiden, suggested it would be a two horse race, however the Charlie Swan trained newcomer Roman Flight had other ideas, as he stayed on best, to win by half a length at the line. Fri 17th Jun

After race at Cork Fri, 25th May, 2012 (1st)

He won't be hitting the front as soon the next time! I told Ruby to go on if he was happy to but he looks a real brat. He never shows any tendency like that at home, although he did try to run out at Roscommon last year. I thought the line would never come! He'll go next for either a winners-of-one or a handicap.

After race at Limerick Fri, 17th Jun, 2011 (1st)

He is a nice horse, who had been working quite well at home, but he hadn't been working on grass. I told the owners that I hoped he would be in the first three, so it was a nice surprise that he won it. I have no plans for him now. The owners (Favourites Racing Syndicate) are big owners in the UK and this is their first horse with me.
