Trainer Timmy Hyde completed a bumper double with Feelin’ Groovy and Kelp Forest on a memorable day for his family in Limerick yesterday.

Memorable day for Hyde family as Tim continues great tradition

It was a special day for Tim (16), a transition year student in Glenstal Abbey, as he became the fourth generation of the Hyde family to ride a winner, partnering Feelin’ Groovy to an eight lengths win over The Big Galloper in the four-year-old bumper.

The Mastercraftsman gelding shot through on the inside turning for home and, soon in command, stayed on strongly for an emphatic victory, prompting winning trainer and proud grandfather Timmy to comment: “He’s in school in Glenstal and will get a great kick out of this. The horse wasn’t bought for this job. He’s not very big and might run in a winners bumper for Tim, but he’s a good jumper and he’ll go hurdling soon enough.”
