O'Connor seen to good effect Colm Murphy and Matt O'Connor continued their good run when winning The Buy Your Ticket On-Line Handicap Hurdle with Kennel Bridge. O'Connor settled his mount in mid-division, made progess approaching straight, improved to lead before last and stayed on well to hold off the efforts of the Francis Flood trained Imaalhall by 3 lengths. Murphy commented afterwards, "That was great and long may it last. We'll see what the handicapper does now and hopefully he won't be too hard on us. He has done nothing but improve and hopefully he keeps improving. The bit of nicer ground helped and Matt was at the pin of his collar (to do the weight)."
