Sky’s The Limit rolls back the years

FORMER Cheltenham festival winner Sky’s The Limit rolled back the years by destroying the opposition in the open lightweight at the rescheduled Ballindenisk point-to-point yesterday.

Sky’s The Limit brought himself to the attentions of a wider audience by winning the 2006 running of the Coral Cup Hurdle for Edward O’Grady. However, he lost his way in 2008 following two Grade 1 successes over fences as a novice and he was purchased by current handler Paurick O’Connor this past May.

Sky’s The Limit won a Taylorstown point in October only to later disappoint at Tattersalls Farm and Affane. He was quite well-supported (2/1 – 7/4) in yesterday’s 12-runner race and travelled with his customary fluency under regular partner Derek O’Connor, Paurick’s brother.
