Ballyjohnboy Lord another for in-form Sheehy

DUSTY SHEEHY, whose Justified turned in such a fine round of jumping to score first time up over fences at Punchestown last week, wasted no time getting among the winners at Clonmel yesterday when Ballyjohnboy Lord landed the Tipp FM Maiden Hurdle.

Sheehy had an upbeat bulletin on his stable star. “He is in mad form and will go back to Punchestown in about a month's time”, he said.

Ballyjohnboy Lord is no star, but did his job well, after Michael Darcy took him to the front coming away from the third last.
