THOSE who peruse the Irish Horse World section of this paper, will have read about Co Down event rider Susie Berry having little to do but rest up and watch TV having broken her ankle and fibula in a cross-country schooling incident.

In addition to following all the action at Aintree, Susie, who was The Irish Field junior event rider of the year for 2016, got to see three horses bred at the family’s Dromore farm win during the period under review starting last Wednesday week at Wincanton.

There, the 10-year-old Generous gelding Dance Floor King recorded his fifth success when landing the two and a half-mile handicap chase under Daryl Jacob. The Nick Mitchell-trained bay, who was bred by Berry Farms, is the fourth of 10 foals out of the flat race-winning Tel Quel mare Strawberry Fool.

The Roger McGrath-trained Miss Eyecatcher, who got off the mark over hurdles on her sixth attempt at Wexford on Friday, was bred by Susie’s brother Chris and their mother Callie. The six-year-old King’s Theatre mare, who won three bumpers out of just four starts, is the third of five recorded foals out of the unraced Generous mare Miss Generosity, a half-sister to the blacktype performers Battlecry and Value At Risk, being out of the Grade 3 chase winner Miss Orchestra.

Probably tiring of watching television at this stage, the impatient patient saw a third winner for the family on Tuesday at Exeter where Treackle Tart, on her sixth career start and her fourth over timber, landed the near two-mile, six-furlong novices’ handicap hurdle for the Charlie Longsdon yard.

The five-year-old Winged Love mare is the seventh of nine foals out of Battle Over (by Sillery), a winner on the flat and four times over jumps in her native France. Battle Over’s 2013 foal, a colt by Doyen, has been named Battleoverdoyen and this Jerry Cosgrave-trained bay has been entered for today’s four-year-old geldings’ maiden at Loughanmore.

Other northern-bred National Hunt winners in the last week or 10 days included the six-year-old Tikkanen gelding Tikkanen Express, who got off the mark over fences at his first attempt in Limerick last Thursday week, and the 10-year-old Winged Love gelding Rocknrollrambo who recorded his second victory over fences at Ffos Las on Sunday.

FLAT WINNERS

On the flat, the Colin Kennedy-bred newcomer Rock Of Estonia won the first two-year-old race of the Windsor season on Monday afternoon in the hands of Jamie Spencer.

Trained by Charlie Hills, the chesnut colt comes from the first crop of the short-lived Rock Of Gibraltar stallion Society Rock and is the second of just two recorded foals out of the five-time winner Estonia (by Exceed And Excel). The mare’s first produce, the Mayson gelding Tallinski, finished second twice in three starts last season for the Brian Ellison yard.

Also on the level, Lady Jane Gillespie sent out her own Dasheen to win division two of the near mile handicap at Tipperary. The four-year-old Bahamian Bounty gelding, who was ridden by Billy Lee, was having his first start for the Caledon trainer having previously been in the care of Mark Johnston.
