Madden Doubles-Up Again

He may have caused a surprise in the North three weeks back when scoring as a 16/1 shot but Banna Beach was 'expected' this time and the 100/30 market-leader did the business by three and a half lengths to credit Niall 'Slippers' Madden with an over 15/1 brace (earlier successful on Thelobstercatcher) in the Ballinattin Handicap Chase.

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 1st Jan, 2014 (1st)

David (Casey) was unbelievable on him and is riding as good as he was when he was 21 or 22! . I thought he'd struggle on the heavy ground as there's some difference from the ground he won on the last day and he had to battle hard to get back up. We've always been dreaming about the Thyestes Chase with him as his owner George Moore comes back for it every year and I'd also like to keep him going for the Irish National if I thought he'd get into it.

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Dec, 2013 (1st)

When I saw this race I said we'd enter, not thinking we'd get into it. I couldn't believe there were so few entries and he got in perfectly. He needs the big fences and at Thurles they were hurdling over them and he got left. Today they had to jump those fences and he enjoyed it. I said I'd wait to put the blinkers on him when we got a good pot and it couldn't have worked out better as he was so sweet today. I'll see what he gets but I wouldn't mind going for some of the big handicaps if we can get into them. I'd love to go for the Thyestes and even to come back here.

P A Fahy

After race at Tramore Fri, 29th May, 2009 (1st)

He was sick through the winter and he'd probably prefer a longer trip. He is bred for staying chasing. The owner, George Moore has three horses with me, including Highglen, who won here this year (on New Year's Day). Moore owns a nursing home in Wales and also has horses with Peter Bowen.
