Farrokh Stays on Well for Wexford Success The Barry Connell-trained Farrokh (9/1) was the winner of the Support the Irish Injured Jockeys Handicap Chase for jockey Daniel King. The seven-year-old son of Manatee stayed on well in the final furlong to deny the Aengus King-trained Chosen Shant (10/3) by 1¾ lengths. Speaking after the race, trainer Barry Connell said: "I get a great kick out of winning these 0-100s as I hardly ever win them. It's normally Eoin McCarthy or those other brilliant trainers who operate well with these horses. We have an incredible range of trainers in this division and this horse had finished second in this race two years ago. "We tried him with blinkers and cheekpieces but took them all off today, except for a sheepskin noseband. He jumped well, never missed a beat and the jumping won it for him. It is fine margins down at this level, but if you jump well and keep saving, that can make the difference. "There might be something over fences for him in Galway." (Quotes from Tom Weekes)
