Owned and bred by Jim Treacy of Days Hotel fame, it won't be long until Treacy Hotels Boy joins his aforementioned Henry de Bromhead stable companion, a Graded performer himself, in the chasing ranks.
De Bromhead said: "I'm delighted with that – it's a nice start to the season to have a winner on our second runner.
"Andrew (Lynch) was pleased with him. Being a six-year-old we might head off and go over fences now."
The Waterford handler had just watched his Treacy Hotels Boy land the Point to Point Evening 16th May Maiden Hurdle in a style likely to have left favourite backers well-pleased at Tipperary.
A 2/1 shot, previously runner-up in a point-to-point and a Tramore maiden hurdle, Treacy Hotels Boy led before two out before going on to comfortably see off Popmurphy by three lengths. (TW & EM)
