Brennan Avoids Marathon
December 18, 2012 Leave a comment
With a twelve race marathon card being decided at Ballydarragh, a number of local trainers and jockeys took the opportunity to travel a little further afield with some considerable success. The United Hunt meeting at Dungourney in Co Cork saw John Paul Brennan join forces with Colman Sweeney to take the Four Year Old Maiden with the Oscar mare Spirit Oscar. This mare owned by Marie Brennan led all the way to win easily. On the same card Myles Sunderland saddled the five year old Vinnie Roe gelding, Bob Ford, to win in the hands of Pat Collins. Bred by Loran Allen, this horse was left in the lead at the last fence following the fall of Rebel Cry. Both of these winners will be seen on the track in the New Year according to connections. The Louth Foxhound meeting at Tattersalls Farm saw Jamie Codd ride a nice double and retain his lead, now of four, over Derek O’Connor. King Rolfe, a half brother of the former top class mare Feathard Lady gave Codd his first winner when the four year old Kings Theatre horse stayed on well to win. Codd then joined forces with his brother William to win with the 5 year old Pierre gelding, Pierrers Bounty. This horse avoided the casualties at the last to win well in the colours of Thomas Kirwan. While Pat Day saw his seven year old mare Bee Fallon battle on well under Ciaran Murphy to justify a run on the track.
