Laugh strikes again for Fahey and O'Sullivan Live To Laugh bagged back-to-back wins with a convincing success in the Careys Castle Novice Handicap Chase at Clonmel. The Peter Fahey-trained gelding opened his account in fine style with an easy victory at Thurles earlier in the month and went to post a 9/2 shot today in a bid to follow up. He was soon prominent, under Ethan O’Sullivan, and went to the front with a circuit to run. The Califet gelding travelled best down to the second last and despite jumping right over the last two he had plenty in hand as he registered a two-length win over early leader Plain Or Battered. "He is a cracking horse and I suppose it took him a while to find his way, although definitely fences has improved him,” said Fahey. “Ethan gets on grand with him, he travelled very keenly today and took it up early but for a horse who hadn't been finishing out his races, he finished out great. "The horse is getting more and more followers now that he is running better. The syndicate is from all over the country and I bought him after he was placed in a point-to-point.  "I don't think he is in any way ground-dependant and we could switch him back over hurdles as well."
