The Jim Bolger trained Rince Deireanach landed the Shelbourne F.C. Race Day Nursery Handicap at Fairyhouse today, on her second handicap start, under jockey Kevin Manning.

The daughter of Teofilo raced with the pace throughout and while she appeared a little green in the closing stages, in the end scored a comfortable five lengths over Ellona

Afterwards Ger Flynn, Bolger’s travelling head man, stated “Kevin said she travelled real well. She’d ran on soft ground before at Roscommon so we knew that she handled it. She ducked about a furlong and a half down. It’s not the first time that he’s ridden a horse around here that ducked before. But he showed great balance after she did a little jink.

“She went right away in the end, and he said in that ground you have to keep them up to it. It’s very testing and she just plugged away and stayed really well.”
