Fernhurst Lad proves to be a muddy marvel

THE dual point-to-point winner Fernhurst Lad battled dourly through very testing conditions to land the Demense Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

He is trained by Debbie Hartnett at Donoughmore, Co. Cork, who was enjoying a third success on the track.

Fernhurst Lad is owned by the ten-member SCR Syndicate, who are all clients of the Stirrup Bar in Whites Cross.
