Footy should be on the ball again

FOOTY FACTS is the nap choice to land the opening Killinan Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

The selection reappears after running at Cork just four days ago and can vindicate Robert Tyner’s decision to bring him out again so quickly.

At Cork, over two and a half miles, Footy Facts made all of the running, holding on for dear life close home to beat the fast-finishing Rigour Back Bob by a short head. Stepping up an extra two furlongs now should work in his favour.
