Me Wee Bonnie Lass another big race success for O'Brien Cheltenham Festival winning jockey Paddy O'Brien enjoyed further big race success when producing Me Wee Bonnie Lass from off the pace to take the Listed BOYLE Sports Mares Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse. Held up in the early stages of the contest, the Gavin Cromwell trained 15/2 chance moved closer to track the leaders after jumping four out. Pushed up on the outside of runners entering the straight, the Mark Coleman owned mare came through to head Kilbarry Saint at the penultimate fence. Staying on strongly from the back of the last, Me Wee Bonnie Lass landed the spoils by 10 lengths. “There was loads of pace and she was flat to the boards early on but she got into a great rhythm,” said Cromwell. “Bar missing one down the back she jumped really well and stayed on really well. “She’s a game little filly. I’ve won this race a couple of times and it’s a nice race to win.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson.
