Reports in which Fascinating Shadow (IRE) was mentioned

Herculaneum delivers under patient Brouder ride
Herculaneum took a significant step forward from his recent reappearance when running out a very easy winner of the Portwest Handicap Hurdle at Ballinrobe. Tue 28th May
Dartan delivers with quick turnaround on the cards
The versatile Dartan (10/3) recorded his third win of the summer and his seventh overall, as he beat market rival Barnacullia in the concluding Ploughman Bar & Grill (Q.R) Handicap. Tue 29th Aug
Fascinating Shadow a nice prospect for the Shark
Fascinating Shadow (5/1) made a winning debut under National Hunt rules in the four-year-old hurdle at Cork. Sat 07th May
Big-priced win for Plezantlysurprised

Success for Shark's Shadow on yard debut
Ex-Richard Hannon trained Fascinating Shadow won on yard debut for John 'Shark' Hanlon and owners the Great White Shark Syndicate today, in Dundalk's View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Handicap at 33/1. Tue 12th Apr

I was advised to buy him out of Richard Hannon's by Ross Doyle (bloodstock agent) and he was dead right. He said he'd make a lovely hurdle horse but was going so well at home we had to go to Dundalk the last day - it was the first time I was there in eight years!. He is a good ground horse and I might wait until Galway with him now where he might go for one of those 1m6f flat races. It is the same syndicate that owned Dime A Dozen but Paul Palmer, from Dublin, has joined to make it a four-member syndicate and I'm delighted for them.

in fairness I was told to buy him and he's not a dear horse. The boys that own him had Dime A Dozen with me and when I bought this horse, I put it up to them and they said go for it. It's a great start. My big plan is to go hurdling with him and I want to keep him a novice (for next season) - there's a four-year-old novice hurdle in Cork in three weeks time. I might also look at flat options and Billy (Lee) said he would stay two miles, so that gives me a lot of options in staying handicaps. There's a two miler on Irish Derby day that I won years ago with Truckers Delight and maybe he might end up there. Billy said he loves good ground. I haven't been here racing for four years and it could be another four years, you never know.
