Grappa Nonino 🏆🏆 Fairytale stuff to bring the name P J Smullen back into the winners enclosure in Dundalk Stadium where my dad won his first and last race Amazing to do it for his former boss D K Weld who he enjoyed most of his success with

TIMELESS TREAT (Harzand) makes a winning debut in the maiden hurdle Down Royal Racecourse for Gordon Elliott 🏆 Bred by Vambeck Bloodsyock, he’s a full-brother to recent Grade 2 winner Six Figures (Harzand), who Yannick Fouin says is the best he’s ever trained

On Pat Smullen’s birthday it was good to see Frances Crowley’s Brickfield Stud graduate Front Line Fury make a decent debut to be third in a smart 2yo maiden at Yarmouth. He’s a Kodi Bear half-brother to Maw Lam, who was placed last year in the Queen Mary. One to follow.
