On a particularly sad day at Thurles racecourse yesterday, following the death of owner and manager Pierce Molony, the two miles and six plus maiden hurdle was won in impressive fashion by Ryansbrook.

Robert Tyner and Philip Enright continued their terrific run when Carrigmoorna Rock cruised to victory in the Girls Nite Out At Clonmel Races Mares’ Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel last night.
