Midnight Jets in to land first win over flights The Henry De Bromhead trained Midnight Jet showed a smart turn of foot to win the Tom Quinlan Electrical Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Sent off 9/2 under Darragh O'Keeffe, the Anthony Head owned gelding was in the leading three or four horses throughout. Moving second with three to jump, Midnight Jet closed on leader He Can't Dance on the run to the penultimate hurdle. Quickening up to lead between the final two flights, Midnight Jet went away to win by three-and-half lengths. “It was a good performance. He ran okay in Cork and Leopardstown,” said O’Keeffe. “He had a little break, was working really well and jumped better at home. We were confident of a good run. “It’s tough conditions, there is a nice headwind, but his jumping was much better today and he stuck it out well to the line.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson.
