Some compo for Fehily
Recently turned 40 Noel Fehily justifiably has many fans, and his success on Tom Hogan's Coolnagorna Giggs (5/1 2nd fav) was a popular one, coming as it did thirty five minutes on from the Corkman's unseat from odds-on Bitofapuzzle in the Grade 2.

Pet keeps it in the family at Fairyhouse
Michelle Gannon was in typically bubbly form after saddling Missyspet landed the mares' maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse under Mark Walsh. Thu 01st Jan
That was no surprise. She had a bit of form but Brian Hayes was knocked out of the saddle the last day and prior to that she was running in a different class of race at Gowran,” . I'm delighted to get this as Fintan (Kealy) is a great owner and has plenty of her relations at home so it's very important that she gets black-type at some stage. We have her right now so won't chance running her quickly but there's a race after Christmas in Punchestown for her.

I only got her to train late last year and couldn't get her forward enough to run. We got her ready for a bumper at Punchestown but I told the owner it was a waste of time and to throw her in field. I wondered if he would ever ring me back but luckily he did and she's a lovely type. There is no trying to settle her or anything. When you want her to go she does and when you want her to stop she does. She's so straight-forward. She jumps like a chaser and the last day she was losing lengths. She's a natural chaser. We hadn't the experience to get stuck into her early but she had the experience today. I'm delighted. Her bumper form wasn't great but Kate Harrington rode her in a ladies race and although she was beaten nearly 20 lengths she said she was the nicest filly she'd rode in a long time. I wanted something to keep the owner happy and she saved my bacon. The first run over hurdles she showed she had ability and she won today which is all important. This is only a preparation for chasing. I've never had as nice a filly to go on with and hopefully she stays sound. She's a three mile plus chaser. She doesn't have the pace for two miles but can go that relentless gallop.
