Ownahincha. March 17th 2006. St.Patrick's Day, All-Ireland

Race 1. Novice. 700 Euro.

Race Time: 14:30 -- Start Time: 2.52

3 horses ran -- S.P. 2/1, 1/2, 4/1. Dist.: 1L, 7L.

Jessie James seemed to have the race in safe keeping until after halfway when he went off stride. Eventually he got back into it and challenged Perfect Fella - who is beginning to shape up as a contender - to no avail.

Race 2. Grade C. Div.1. 900 Euro

Race Time: 14:45 -- Start Time: 3.10

Also Ran: Dilly's Oasis (T.O'Leary), Trackman (P.Hill) -- S.P. 4/1, 2/1, 1/2 Fav. Dist.: Neck, Neck.

Frisco Lady made most of the running in this. Trackman challenged briefly and Mass Attack was moved up into a good position early on. Getting serious, it looked as if biggest danger would be Mass Attack. But Greyfoot had got closer, and given a very good ride, showed more of her true class and talent in coming late and prevailing.

Race 3. Grade E. 750 Euro.

Race Time: 2.38 -- Start Time: 15:00

Also Ran: Brandy Star (M.O'Regan), Celtic Dream (J.O'Donovan), Current Supreme (N.McSweeney), Leesdale Star (P.O'Brien), Teady's Pride (M.Duggan) -- S.P. 4/5 Fav, 2/1, 6/1. Dist.: 7L, 8L.

As they sorted themselves out, Shannonside took over from Milly's Dream. Hilton Genius was waited with and only took over after they had rounded the last. Teadie's Pride was unsettled from the start.

Race 4. A & B Combined Trot. 1,200 Euro.

Race Time: 4:25 -- Start Time: 15:30

4 horses ran -- S.P. Evens Fav, 4/1, 6/4. Dist.: 10L, 7L.

Cole's Decision made the early running; Crown Direct took over and looked the part until turning badly at the second last turn. After this, Famous Hill showed briefly but Cole's Decision took command again. But on the straight for home, Famous Hill forged clear while Hello Horatio performed decently to take runner-up.

Race 5. Grade C Div 2. 900 Euro

Race Time: 2:55 -- Start Time: 15:50

Also Ran: Shuttle Buddy (J.McSweeney), Ted Striker (A.Tanno), Twenty 4 Seven (J.O'Donovan) -- S.P. 2/1, 8/1, 5/4 Fav. Dist.: 7L, 6L.

Bachelor Boy made almost all, and never looked in particular danger at any time. Oreanna tried but could not get on terms, while Better By Design may have left his challenge late.

Race 6. Grade D. 800 Euro.

Race Time: 3:04 -- Start Time: 16:10

Also Ran: Buddy (T.O'Leary), Disraeli Flame (C.Harrington) -- S.P. 6/4 Fav, 2/1, 4/1. Dist.: 1/2L, 1/2L.

A good race in which Smokeaway Jim, Empire Factor, and Duggan's Diplomat each held the lead at one time. Duggan's Diplomat looked home and hosed until Direct Rocket lived up to his name in the closing stages.

Race 7. Irish Yoghurts All-Ireland 2006. 2,500 Euro,

Race Time: 4:14 -- Start Time: 16:30

5th - R.Daly's STONERIGGS RASCAL (A.Tanno), 6th - Shanley RC's JUST FLASH (N.McSweeney)

Also Ran: Casey B (P.Hill, 10/1), Gold Fella (10/1, T.O'Leary), He's The Man (5/1, J.Sheehy), Mack's Direct (reserve, replaning Cult Direct) (10/1, M.Duggan) -- S.P. 5/1, 1/2 Fav, 12/1, 8/1, 3/1, 10/1. Dist.: 8L, Neck

This was a very good All-Ireland. Hello Fella held sway in the early stages, tracked by Stoneriggs Rascal. He was still in front heading for the second turn, at which Goldfella was pulled up. Joe Moorsley approached this in front, but Stoneriggs Rascal came out of it in front. Heading for the last, Stoneriggs Rascal was still in front, but began to run out of steam. Fidlin had stayed in touch with the leaders, but fell back briefly after losing gait. At the last turn, he rounded in front, but Hello Fella turned really well here - going into it in fourth and coming out of it in second behind Fidlin. Then he forged clear, with Fidlin having no answer. Coalford Connection had been in fourth as they set off for the last turn and came with a strong late run that just failed to peg back Fidlin.
