He had his first winner in tramore 1995, IF YOU SAY YES for Wiilie Mullins. He has had a lot of bad falls over the years, but has had many great victories. Incidentally Ruby Walsh had his first winner there too but I cant remember the name.

D.J. Casey, rider of Long Strand, trained by Mr. C.F. Swan, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount hung in this race and never picked up. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer reported to the Stewards that Long Strand was found to be post race normal.

Can someone explain that comment. Does he mean the horse never picked up, or that he himself never picked up (the stick)?

Be interesting to see what handicap mark it ends up with eventually.
12th in the festival bumper.
8th was Shinrock Paddy, grade 1 winner. 9th Pepe Simo, rated 140 before his last run. 10th Benbane Head, beat a 130 rated runner by 7 lengths the last day
