Trainer Duggan delivering from a new yard Trainer Donncha Duggan continued his good recent beginning from a new yard today, landing Listowel’s M.J. Carroll ARRO Handicap Hurdle with in-form Luck Between Us (8/1). Ridden by Niall Moore, the seven-year-old raced prominently throughout, and having led from the third-last, held on well for a half-length win over Watch The Weather . Luck Between Us had gone went unsold for €21,000 at an online sale last July and was today bringing his recent form-figures to ‘1211’. Duggan reported “it was a big step up in grade from his Ballinrobe win although he had less weight in this race so I decided to roll the dice. Niall is one of the most underestimated riders in Ireland and carried out every instruction to a tee. He is fierce value for his 5lb claim and everything worked out well. “I tried to sell this horse last July but it was an advantage to me that he wasn’t sold. He is a progressive horse and is still improving. “I am a Limerick-man (Kilfinane) but have recently moved to a new yard a mile down the road, into Cork, which is just a mile from my previous base. I’d like to thank my staff at home, including my daughter Ciara, who do a fantastic job and are a great team. “I’m looking for owners, I have new stables, a two-and-a-half furlong oval gallop and another four-furlong uphill sand gallop. Whoever wants to send me a horse I’ll train it, I have 19 in at the moment and have room for more, either Flat or jumps.”
