Strange result looks on the cards for punters

EIGHT races and the emphasis very much on quantity rather than quality is what lies in store for punters at Thurles today.

Shay Barry’s mount, Gerry Strange, gets the nap to land the first division of the Fethard Maiden Hurdle.

The six-year-old performed solidly last time and a reproduction of that effort will see him run another big race, against largely modest opposition.
