We have had a good run over the weekend at Lisaleen.
At Limerick on Sunday, we recorded a double with False Economy and Friendly Society both winning. False Economy who was ridden by Ruby Walsh, won very nicely and he will now go to Fairyhouse on Sunday for the Power Gold Cup.
Stable jockey Adrian Heskin gave Friendly Society, who seems to love Limerick, a great ride to win the Martinstown Opportunity Chase very well.
Ballysteen was another who ran well, finishing 2nd, just beaten ∏ length.
The ‘Back in The Saddle Again’ Charity Race, was a huge success on the day. Kevin O Ryan won the first division on Prince Erik for his former boss, Dermot Weld and the second division was won by Mags Mullins on her own Marlay Park. A huge thank you to all involved in making the day a success.
At Thurles on Tuesday, Awkward Moment and Dizzy Rascal both won giving Adrian Heskin his first double. It was a welcome change of luck for both horses, as Awkward Moment was unlucky to fall when going well the last day. Dizzy Rascal was enjoying her first racecourse success after many attempts – she has been a model of consistency.
Earlier today, at Inch point to point, Tropical Three made a winning debut in the four year old maiden. She is from the family of Tropical Lake and is a very nice prospect for the future.
We have one runner at Clonmel tomorrow, Fine Presentation – he is a very nice sort and a good run is expected.
Racing this weekend is at Cork and Fairyhouse – we hold entries at both places. The point to point is at Quakerstown in County Clare and we also have a number of entries there.
