🔥SNOW SKY DOUBLE🔥

A great day for Snow Sky with🥇BARTON SKY and 🥇SKY LUNA breaking their maidens at Inchadoney and Ballingarry.

❤️💛BARTON SKY❤️💛is a yard favourite, locally bred and owned by Thomas (Toss) Hutton who is sure to have enjoyed and will celebrate the win today. The first of many for this talented horse and he is sure to be successful again in the near future.

Congratulations to all!

🥉Elsa Bay 🥉had a quick return to action after her 4th place run in a bumper in Tipperary and she credited herself with a close third. She is a lovely mare and was in season today but still ran a great race. We believe she will be in the winners enclosure in the future and hope she gets the chance to take her wins.

It’s been a great turnaround for the yard with the recent form and winners and we are delighted to get another today. The majority of pointers have headed out to grass💚 but we are so excited for the Autumn season!

STRADBALLY 19/05/24

🔥🥇STAGE BURN 🥇🔥

The ☀️ was out in Stradbally and quick ground meant we had just the one runner with Stage Burn owned and bred by Pat Keogh taking a fast run 15 runner maiden under a patient well timed ride by Luke Carberry.

With three winners in the last two weeks, it’s just a pity that next weekend is the last of the season but we are so thankful and appreciative of the support we have received throughout this season.

Well Done to everyone!

It was a fabulous evening at ☀️Tipperary Racecourse☀️ with ⭐️Grange Soldier⭐️ taking the Novice Hunters Chase followed up by a lovely debut run by 🐎Elsa Bay🐎 finishing a fine 4th on her track debut. The ground had possibly become a little quick for her liking but there was plenty to like about her performance! Well done to all, exciting days ahead!

DAWSTOWN 6/5/24

It has brought us so much joy to bring news of Grageen winning a very competitive winners contest Dawstown Point to Point today. Waiting patiently all season for nicer ground, it was great to finally have the sun shine for a few days and the ground to be in his favour. He was given a great ride by Pa King for loyal owners Leo and Mary Doyle who travelled down to shout him home!

NECARNE 4/4/24

🥈ELUSIVE MAE🥈put in a solid performance to finish a close second on her second start of the season at Necarne. Jumping slick and leading to the last, she put in a brave performance to be just denied victory. We are excited for her next runs and it’s great to see her back in great form.

We’ve had a tough few months but weekends like these gives everyone a lift and hopefully that’s the ball rolling again. 🐎🐎🐎

⭐️🥉CLONMEEN 🥉⭐️

The 100,000 Irish Grand National Trial today at Punchestown was another step up in trip and class for Clonmeen and he ran a cracker finishing third under Simon Torrens. Exciting plans and times ahead for this horse!

OLDTOWN 17.02.24

🥈⭐️FOLLOWCATO ⭐️🥈

Oldtown has the reputation for being one of the best tracks in the country with big fences and a true test and yesterday proved the same. We took Followcato to run in a very competitive Five Year Old Maiden and we think a lot of this horse. Given a patient ride by Pa King he was just denied winning on debut close home.

His half sister Followango that won on debut for us last year is now with Evan Williams Racing. She has since won her bumper by a wide margin on track debut and has been denied last week by a nose in her novice hurdle. He may head to Tattersalls Cheltenham sales next Friday. We wish his owner Pat McCarthy the very best with him.

POUR ME A DOUBLE made a return to action in the winners contest and ran a pleasing race just tiring close home to finish fourth. His fitness will improve a lot from the run and another winners contest or maiden hunters chase is in the cards for him.

A special mention🥇⭐️DANCING SKY ⭐️🥇

A very impressive winner on the day and another winner for Ballycurragh sire Snow Sky! We would like to congratulate the connections and we were delighted to see they also bred another winner by Alkaadhem last weekend!

TINAHELY 18.02.24

🥉GRAGEEN 🥉
We had one runner in Tinahely today and Grageen ran a nice race finishing third under Jamie Scallan. He is fit and well now and we know that he will appreciate it when the ground dries up later in the spring.
