Formscan By Gary Carson - RUN TED RUN (9) was a game winner on his debut at Galway and can make a successful start over timber now. The Joshua Tree gelding got home by a short-head from Sir Vinny then in a strong looking bumper. The form has worked out well with the fifth and sixth horses winning since. Gillane took nine starts, including his point-to-point runs, to open his account. He was an easy winner when last seen at Bellewstown though and has jumps experience so looks like the obvious danger. Haveanothertry was placed three times for his previous trainer and is another that has to be on the shortlist on his first outing for Eric McNamara.

Quotes on Run Ted Run (IRE)
This horse is very special and was called Run Ted Run by the HOS Syndicate, owned by Margaret and the late Andrew Heffernan. Andrew had named the horse after his down syndrome grandson Ted, so this horse is special and it is fantastic he won first-time out. Patrick didn't lose an inch the whole way around, waited in front and the horse held on to get his head in front at the line. He had been showing up nicely so we kept him for Galway and I'm just sorry the syndicate couldn't be here, as they have other commitments. I'll see what Patrick says but he should probably go hurdling next. I think he'll be a nice chaser in time so he may as well get on the road with jumping now.
