Reports in which Royal Approval (GB) was mentioned

Review BALLINROBE 11th Aug

Pierse Hurdle hero Barker made an encouraging debut over fences when finishing second to The Last Hurrah at BallinrobeMon 11th Aug

Royal Approval in the form of his life

At this time of year it isn't unusual to see horses successfully making quick reappearances but anyone that saw Royal Approval have a tough race to win the Pat O'Hare Bookmakers Rosebank Hurdle at Downpatrick yesterday may have doubted his ability to handle another assignment in the Connolly's Audi Handicap at Ballinrobe. Mon 11th Aug

Review DOWNPATRICK 10th Aug

Royal Approval just got the better of a pulsating duel with Absolute Image to land the feature race at Downpatrick, the Pat O'Hare Bookmakers Rosebank HurdleSun 10th Aug

Hassett gets McConnell's Approval at Downpatrick

Jockey Shane Hassett came in for praise from winning trainer John McConnell following his win on Royal Approval in the Pat O'Hare Bookmakers Rosebank Hurdle at Downpatrick today. Sun 10th Aug

After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 11th Aug, 2008 (1st)

He's as tough as nails and I can't believe how far he has won. His handicap mark is probably gone now on the flat and he will more than likely go back chasing. (EM)

John C McConnell

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 10th Aug, 2008 (1st)

Shane (Hassett) gave him a lovely ride but he said he may have hit the front a little early. Royal Approval won this race last year and will run again at Ballinrobe tomorrow, in a Flat handicap, provided he is ok in the morning - he is a tough horse who takes his racing well.
