IT has been a great start to the year for owner Brian Acheson whose Robcour colours have been carried to victory in recent weeks by a number of quality types and Magic Daze added her name to that list with a smooth success in the mares’ maiden hurdle.

At the end of a seven-day swing which featured a first Grade 1 success for the owner courtesy of Bob Olinger and a Fairyhouse double supplied by the exciting Teahupoo and Gerri Colombe, the Henry de Bromhead-trained Magic Daze was returned at 4/9.
