Slippers and McConnell on form at Sligo

Updated on Jul 13, 2008

Niall Slippers Madden won the feature race at Sligo this afternoon winning the Irish Stallions EBF Novice Hurdle on Karlu trained by John McConnell. Slippers gave the horse a strong ride to get up and win in the closing stages.

McConnell said, "Slippers gave him a great ride, he was gutsy there. He was badly jarred after Kilbeggan, he?s only back in about 2 ? weeks and thought he might have needed the run. Long term plan would be the Pierce Hurdle."
