Recent Winners

09.05.11

It has been a good week for the yard with a couple of winners.

False Economy won in Ballinrobe on Wednesday on his first run of the season. He was ridden by Ruby Walsh. He will improve again from the race and it is hoped he will develop into a Galway Hurdle prospect in time.

Lend A Hand Son won at Sligo on Sunday, also ridden by Ruby Walsh. His owners, the Golf at Balllyneety syndicate, who were delighted with the win, have been very loyal owners of the yard, having previously owned Kilbeggan Lad.

Ruby Walsh teamed up with the yard again at Limerick on Sunday, where he gave Friendly Society a fantastic ride to win by 2 1/2L.. His owner, Virginia Lady Petersham, who is a great supporter of racing, was present to witness her winner and was delighted.

At the local Stonehall point to point on Sunday, Whats Happening was a good winner of the 4 year old maiden on his second start. He looks a nice prospect for next season.

All horses returned from the Easter Racing Festivals in good health, and A New Story – who was 5th in the Irish National, having his 6th run in the race- will now go to France in June for a Cross Country Race.

Also, best wishes to our jockey, Adrian Heskin who will be out for a couple of weeks after a fall in Fairyhouse over Easter.
