TIMOTHYS STANCE, a January puppy owned by Timothy Carr & Martin Scanlon of Listowel and trained in Macroom by Liam O' Callaghan took the featured Derby Trial Stake at Bandon & Careys Cross yesterday.

Age is certainly proving no barrier to timeless veteran Pat Eddery and he partnered Splendid Era to a breathtaking success at Lingfield on Tuesday.

Veteran jockey Pat Eddery has ridden some blinders in his time but his victory on Splendid Era in the Littlewoods Bet Direct AW Owners Championship Novice Stakes at Lingfield today must rank among the most remarkable.
