Fayr Star can keep local fans happy

FAYR STAR is fancied to prove a popular local winner for John Kiely in the Noel Cummins Bookmaker Handicap at the first stage of the Tramore Festival this evening.

Still a maiden, he indicated his turn may well be imminent with a career-best performance at Galway last month.

In truth he was never in a position to win that particular contest, coming from well off the pace to finish six lengths second behind the impressive High Diving.
