Horse Racing: Andrias Guerin won his first race over hurdles in the GROLSCH HCP CHASE 5500m at Wincanton (GBR) (3:10pm) on Hobb’s Dream last Friday March 9th. He spent the whole race at the back of the field, made his move with four fences to go, jumped the last in second (photo right), and just pipped it by a head. “Fabulous ride Andrias Guerin” – the commentator [See the video of the race at the bottom of this post] [read an article in the SportingLife.com]
He followed that up the following day with his second win over hurdles in the 5:25 at Chepstow (UK), a 2m 4f race, winning by half a length on “Meet me at Dawn”, sent off at 8/1. He rides again today in the 4:30 at Plumpton, another hurdle … three in a row, what are the chances … [not to be as he was raised 9lbs since his race on friday and fell two from home … breaking Andrias’ collar bone 🙁 ]

Greyhounds: Edward Murphy’s dog Ballydaly United finished second in a 525 in Clonmel in a time of 29.09 (11th March). Last out of the traps, he was passed all but one down the back straight, but went wide around the last bend and probably ran out of steam. [race video below]

On Andrias Guerin (from SportingLife.com)
Multi-talented conditional jockey Andrias Guerin has struck up a good partnership with Hobb’s Dream (3-1) and his constant attention to the mare saw her eventually gather speed to pip Kilvergan Boy by a neck on the line.
“It’s just nice to get a winner and I’m relieved because I didn’t think she’d be winning four out,” said Mulholland.
“That’s his (Guerin) first winner over fences, and I think he’s had three in all. He’s a good lad.
“He’s got some voice too, and he does gigs at the weekend with the guitar.”
The modest Guerin said his inspirations were “anything from Bruno Mars to Katy Perry to Irish traditional”
