Gigginstown record 1-3 in Wexford's unplaced maiden Gigginstown House Stud were responsible for a 1-3 in the opening Welcome To Wexford Racecourse Maiden Hurdle, for unplaced horses, at Wexford today, as the Joseph O'Brien trained Cut Em Down won under jockey J.J. Slevin. The race was confined to horses which have run at least three times but have failed to place, and in the end was won in comprehensive style by Cur Em Down, who beat Pallaskenry by six lengths with a further 17 lengths to Gigginstown's other runner Cote Tete. Afterwards jockey Slevin, a cousin of winning trainer O'Brien, said “he had an alright run in a bumper over the winter, and obviously the good ground has helped him today, and he has won very easily. “Joseph said to make plenty of use of him, give him a bit of light and to get him jumping. It's onward and upwards for him now hopefully. "They have done a good job watering here, but it is genuine good ground." Quotes from Donal Murphy
