Daisy delivers in style

YOU LITTLE DAISY continued the successful run of champion owner J. P. McManus when opening her account over hurdles in the Elphin Maiden Hurdle at Roscommon last night.

Conor O’Dwyer has struck up a winning partnership with trainer Christy Roche in recent weeks and gave You Little Daisy a confident ride before driving her clear on the run-in to beat Toutan Khamon and Adonia.

Johnny Murtagh, whose book of rides at Royal Ascot includes Kalaman, travelled west to rides Scarsdale in the Lecarrow Maiden and this well backed favourite looked a likely winner early in the straight.
