WHY YOU MONTY, winner of the Local Stake at Rathcormac last season, was a decisive winner of the Ballyarthur Stake, the All-Aged event, at a well run Fermoy & Grange coursing meeting yesterday.

IT was a day of surprises at the Cork Cup meeting at Blarney yesterday with Rusheen Hannah, the property of Master Brendan and Miss Irene O’Callaghan of Macroom, and trained by Liam O’Callaghan, taking the Cork Cup in surprise fashion.
