Fleming opens account in style
Alan Fleming saddled his first winner since returning from England to train for Barry Connell as Gwencily Berbas took the Grade 2 Bambury Bookmakers Juvenile Hurdle in convincing fashion at Fairyhouse. Sat 21st Feb
I thought he'd do it a bit easier. He was just a bit sluggish today but he's been in a long time. He had his few runs during the winter and they were quite good. I think he's going to go on a little holiday now. I do think there is a big one in him along the line, a big handicap. We'll look after him now and give him a nice holiday. Paul was very strong and very good on him. It's a pity Denis missed out, as he has a sore shoulder, but I think this lad will pay him back during the winter.
Alan Fleming
It was a lovely performance. He's a big chaser in the making - a lovely horse,. Adrian said he would have no problem going up in trip and he was very impressed with him. I'm not sure where he'll go now. He's in the Hattons Grace and we'll see where he goes. He's a very exciting horse and has improved a good bit. He has filled into himself and will do the same into next year. He's one for the future over the big ones but he'll definitely stay hurdling this season. He had to do it the hard way there.
Alan Fleming
He's a lovely horse, a real nice horse. I said before the race that he hadn't an awful lot of work done and we rushed him a bit to get him here. We'll have to make a decision now in a week or ten days whether to go to Cheltenham or elsewhere. We'd very much like to go to Cheltenham (entered in Triumph Hurdle and Fred Winter), and we'll have to see. We were intending to sit upsides Gordon's horse but he wasn't keen to lead. He's a good genuine honest horse, and whatever he does over hurdles he's a chaser. I'm chuffed as that's my first National Hunt winner in Ireland. We have 15 to 20 in at the moment and a lot of young horses.
Alan Fleming
