Fahey hits 50 to equal best

RICHARD FAHEY’S hot streak continued at Ripon yesterday when Breaking Shadow’s victory gave the trainer his 50th success of the season, equalling his previous best total achieved last year.

The win was not without incident, however, as Breaking Shadow’s rider Paul Hanagan caused interference when he moved off the far rails to throw down his challenge in the six-furlong Steve Nesbitt Challenge Trophy Nursery.

Once in the clear Fahey’s juvenile (4-1) stormed away to score by two and a half lengths from Zomerlust, who was well ahead of those racing on the stands side.
