Reports in which Now Is The Hour (IRE) was mentioned
Final Demand got his chasing career off to a perfect start when easily justifying odds of 2/7 in the Race And Stay Irish EBF Beginners Chase at Navan.
Sun 16th Nov
History was made in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National, as Haiti Couleurs became the first Welsh trained winner of this prestigious race.
Mon 21st Apr
The market for the Ballykisteen Beginners Chase completely changed with the late withdrawal of Now Is The Hour (due to the going) and new favourite Pinkerton (11/10) obliged under Sam Ewing.
Tue 23rd Apr
The ground at Tipperary is soft, yielding in places (on hurdle course) and soft (on chase track). A dry day is expected.
Tue 23rd Apr
Although a trio of horses were sent off at under 3/1 for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase at Cork, it was one of the outsiders, the Charles Byrnes trained Summer Tide who landed the contest in impressive fashion.
Sun 31st Mar
Thegraveyardbookie had some good fortune on his side when making a successful start over hurdles in the Connolly’s RED MILLS Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle at Limerick.

This is unbelievable stuff and I wasn't sure if he had won, as it was close. Eoin was very good on him and he is great value for his 5lb claim. It is a fantastic race to win and what a difference a day can make!. You couldn't have said he was beaten when falling at the second-last at Cheltenham last March and he was a maiden coming here, so it was a nice way to break his maiden tag. The race is a big part of the calendar with a huge history and while I had finished second in this race last year, it is great to have your name on the cup. It is the first time he has got his ground since he won a Grade 2 hurdle race at Haydock. He again qualifies for the National Hunt Chase so will go straight there, despite having a penalty for winning this. If he doesn't do anything else, he has been fantastic for us and we have been on the cold list for a while so this is well appreciated. Eoin is good value for his claim, is improving all the time and is a nice fella.
