Curraghmore track in the neighbouring county of Waterford survived an early morning inspection after a deluge of rain yesterday and Sunday’s fixture went ahead with two Wexford winners.
Denis Murphy, Ballyboy Stables, The Ballagh, saddled newcomer Lime On Gin in the maiden race for four-year-old mares and cheered her home to a three and a half lengths victory with Jack Hendrick in the saddle.
The in-form Colin Bowe/Barry O’Neill partnership stayed on a winning streak. Grangeclare Park on his debut sporting the Grangeclare Stud silks sprinted away to an eighteen lengths success in division one of the maiden race for four-year-old geldings.
Former champion Derek O’Connor rode an amazing six winners at his local track at Quakerstown, Co. Clare, this afternoon which didn’t leave much prizemoney for the Wexford stables, however, the team of Monbeg Syndicate, Donnchadh Doyle and Rob James, riding his 30th winner of the season saved the day!
Newcomer Goulmichette provided them with a twenty lengths success in the maiden race for five and six-year-old mares.
