Ballingarry-based racehorse trainer Richard O'Brien
LIMERICK-BASED racehorse trainer Richard O'Brien scored an impressive success at Naas Racecourse on Sunday in the day's concluding race.
Ballingarry-based O'Brien sent out Impulsive Dancer to claim the bumper, the Rushe's Supervalu (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race in impressive fashion.
The exciting four-year-old ran out an impressive eight length winner of the 1 mile 7 furlong contest at odds of 15/2.
Impulsive Dancer Looked a useful prospect in seeing off Gordon Elliott’s 13-8 favourite Douglas Dc.
Trainer Richard O’Brien said: “We had been away to a few different places with him. We bought him as a yearling and were hoping he’d do something on the Flat, but he didn’t really start to show anything until October/November time and we said we’d wait for this race.
“That’s a good performance and he’s finished out great. The Sheahan family own him and are good supporters of mine.
“He’s in the shop window and we’ll see what happens.”
"That was a lovely performance."
