Castle Wings takes Limerick's opener
Castle Wings is a half brother to Conna Castle (Power Gold Cup winner) but has previously been a bit unlucky. Stamina is his forte and when he fell here two runs back, when Whatwillwecallher won, I'm not saying he would have won but Pat said he would have been close to her passing the line.
Murchu rules at Limerick
Murchu is a galloper and probably wants two and a half miles. We'll probably aim him at a winners' race next.
Fortunate win for Sir Des Champs
I thought I had Knockfierna covered when she exited . she was getting backhanders the whole way and I was surprised she was still there turning in for home.
Clonbannon takes Limerick bumper
he's a fair sort and while I was leaning towards winning another point to point, his owners Eddie Walsh and Colin Keogh were more keen to go for a bumper. He may go for a winners bumper now.
