The broken record just keeps on playing.

LOCH LONG, who was a revelation when stepped up to two and a half miles at Ballinrobe last time, can take the T And V Novice Hurdle at Kilbeggan tonight.

AN infrequent visitor to Ballinrobe in recent years, Johnny Murtagh notched his first win at the picturesque County Mayo track since 2001 when the Aga Khan-owned Adiynara landed the Irish Stallion Farms Median Auction Maiden last night.

Amateur Ciaran Murphy will remember St. Patrick’s Day 2011 for a long time, having completed a fine double on Good Egg and Shadow Eile at Down Royal.
