Kenneally judges it well on Bleu Pebble Bleu produced a game front-running performance to land the concluding Horse & Jockey Handicap Hurdle at Thurles. Michael Kenneally opened up an early lead on the 4/1 joint-favourite, but she had a reduced advantage turning for home in the two-mile-six contest. She was almost joined by Pookie Holler going to the last but the better jump there gave her the advantage and she went on to post a three-and-a-quarter length success. "It was a great ride and Michael gets on great with her. He knows how to ride her, just lets her at it and she does her own thing. She is honest out,” said Motherway. "The owner wants to cover her but I'm trying not to for another while, as there are more races to be won with her, especially over fences. “She just has to get things her own way as she enjoys being out in front."
