50/1 winner for Darragh O'Keeffe at Fairyhouse

Hickeys Hill was a 50/1 winner for the season's leading jump jockey Darragh O'Keeffe in the FLC Frank Lynch & Co. Supporting Louth GAA Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Sat 11th Oct

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Oct, 2025 (1st)

It was his first go in a handicap, he has been a touch disappointing in maiden hurdles,. He hasn’t been seeing out his races and he’s not quick so we stepped him up last time and he really didn’t get home. The drop back in trip today was a help and he’s had his wind done along the way as well. The lads had a few quid on him so they are happy. Darragh was absolutely brilliant on him. He’s not a simple horse to ride, he’s keen and he’s not a strong finisher and he hangs a bit as well. He made every decision right on him the whole way around. He was travelling well turning in and he could have switched wide and got a clear run but he took the chance to switch in and have another horse keep him straight up the straight. That’s why he’s top of the table. He has the scope to jump a fence, he won a point-to-point. From not doing that well in maidens he’s ended up well handicapped, so I’d be hoping he wouldn’t get a huge amount for today and there might be another one in him. I’d say he needs a bit of nice ground so that might be it for him but at least he’s going out on a good note.
