Its seems we are on a run to have quite a few placed horse with both Ample Appeal and Grove Dale finishing 3rd in there respected races in Thurlus on Thursday. We won't complain it's great to be back in the placing's and there is certainly a great buzz here at Fairwood with everybody looking forward to the next few weeks racing, here is hoping the frost and snow stays away!!!
We have a good line up for Punchestown, the first to kick start our weekends racing is Ard agus Fada who runs in the Handicap Chase at 12.15 tomorrow. We would expect a good follow up to his run just over a week ago where he finished 3rd also in Punchestown. Both Luddsdenene and Barneys Honour should give their rivals a good run for their money in the Maiden Hurdle at 1.20 and the Handicap Hurdle at 2.30. After all the placed horses over the past twelve days a return is well overdue!!!
Ballyburke runs in Leopardstown on Sunday under the mount of Tony McCoy and although there is one or two to watch out for we are hoping he will put up a strong performance and get his head in front at the post. It's a great weekends racing ahead and with a bit of luck we will see our horses improve for their runs over the past two weeks.
