News

Turbo Spirit won in impressive style today at Naas Racecourse. The colt was bred by Dalwhinnie Bloodstock, and sold by Mickley at Tattersalls December Foal Sale to Mags O'Toole from Lynn Stud. TURBO SPIRIT was held up just off the pace, made his challenge towards the centre of the track and he really picked up well on the rain softened ground on the climb to the finish. He can hopefully do well in the latter part of the season. Well done to all connections!

Great to have two winners from the farm today. SHANROE won his 5th race over hurdles at Tipperary, and HEER WE GO AGAIN won over 5f at Lingfield, nice to see he has inherited speed from his sire HEERAAT! HEER WE GO AGAIN wasn't disgraced at Wolverhampton last time and things worked out nicely here. Taking a lead on the stands' rail, he picked up well when the gap opened up for him, and he was comfortably on top at the line. SHANROE, a 6yo son of Multiplex, seemed to win with something in hand, and came her on the back of win on the Flat at Limerick last week.

Immensely proud that the first winner at Royal Ascot 2020 was Motakhayyel, successful in the Buckingham Palace Handicap over 7f. Bred by Crossfields Bloodstock Ltd, the 3YO colt was sold as a weanling at Tattersalls December Foal Sale for 30,000gns, and then again as a yearling to Shadwell for 100,000gns.
