Farmer Brown can continue to make hay

GALWAY Hurdle hero Farmer Brown makes a quick reappearance in the Brompton Recruitment Ireland Race at Wexford this evening.

After he had bolted in at Ballybrit, Pat Hughes indicated that a break might be on the cards for the progressive six-year-old. But Farmer Brown has obviously emerged from the rigours of that tough contest at the top of his game and now takes on some interesting rivals, in a decent contest.

In truth the Bob Back gelding was far too good for the opposition at Galway and his earlier close second on the flat to Westlake at Leopardstown was also an impressive effort.
