Hourigan on a roll as Tornado strikes

Bookmakers got a screamer of a result in the four-runner Easter Time Hurdle at Thurles last evening, with victory going to the 14-1 outsider, Dancing Tornado.

“No winner for five months and three since last Thursday,’’ exclaimed Dancing Tornado’s delighted trainer Michael Hourigan.

Given a superb drive by 7lbs claimer, Jody McGarvey, the 12-year-old squeezed up the far side in the straight, quickening well from the back of the last to beat Stonemaster by a length.
