RONANS ROCKET

Good luck to RONANS ROCKET in his first race at Limerick tonight. Owned and trained by 11 year old Ronan O'Donovan, who reared him from 6 months of age, schooled and trained him. This is Ronans first ever race as an owner/trainer, so we all wish him the very best of luck.

Sadly it wasnt to be a fairy tale ending. The dog broke very well, but moved to the rail at the first bend to take a hefty shunt fromt the 2 dog. that was just about leading him up. He kept on going, but he was never really stretching out down the back straight, and faded badly from the fourth bend to finish in 5th place. Dog needs the inside berth, and some more training to get him fitter, but well done to Ronan in his first attempt.
