Byrnes' bumper horse edges a thriller at Limerick
There was a thrilling end to proceedings at Limerick with just a nose separating I Started A Joke (8/1) and Road Exile in the Doherty Woodshavings Flat Race. Sat 28th Dec

He did well in a schooling race in Tipperary a couple of weeks ago and we always thought he was a nice horse. Jack Bennett had done all the early work and point-to-pointed him, and then we got him. The point-to-point in which he finished fourth has worked out very well and there are a lot of winners from the race. He is a fine horse and is definitely one for the future. I'd say we'll stay in bumpers for now.
