Good To Be Alive gives Bective a second breeding success

Gordon Elliott’s newcomer Good To Be Alive (9/1) caused a mild surprise in winning on debut today, scoring a second breeding-success for Noel & Valerie Moran’s Bective Stud, in Fairyhouse's Book Your Hospitality Maiden Hurdle. Wed 05th Feb

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 5th Feb, 2025 (1st)

he’s a home-bred and we thought he was a bit weak so he’ll probably come on a bit from the run today but it was nice to win. He’s a horse that’s improving and he might not be the worst horse in the world. It’s not ideal winning a maiden hurdle at this time of the year but it’s still not a bad complaint. We’ll have to try and find a novice hurdle for him somewhere.
