Major leads home Hennessy 1/2 in ‘Macroom’

THE leading owner/trainer combination of P J Fahy and Paul Hennessy struck again at Curraheen Park on Saturday night when Tyrur Major made off with the winner's prize in the final of the Macroom Motor Services Stakes.

The pair haven't looked back since winning last year's Cashmans Laurels with Tyrur Ted and could well have an interesting candidate for this year's renewal of the classic in Tyrur Major, who clocked a personal best of 28.41 on Saturday as he led home a 1/2 for Hennessy in the event.

The winner led on the rails at the opening bend from Buds Lightning and the favourite Dustin Fox.
