Jockey Brian Hayes has been enjoying a good spell and he brought his tally for the season to 16 with a double on today’s card in Limerick.
Just as he had done in the point-to-point fields, Carrolls Cottage made it second time lucky over hurdles when taking the LimerickRaces.ie Maiden Hurdle for Hayes and trainer Philip Fenton. He and Hardwired went clear from a long way out and when he saw off the challenge of that rival, he had to pick up again to deny the more patiently ridden Wasdale Park, which he did by seven lengths.
