IT is not often that you get two two-mile handicap chases on one card but that was the case at Fairyhouse on Saturday, with the Irish Racing Yearbook Handicap Chase rerouted from foggy Gowran Park the previous Saturday and renamed the Winter Festival Handicap Chase.

And it is even less often that the same trainer-owner-rider combination can win two two-mile handicap chases on the same card. But that was also the case on Saturday, with Peoples Park winning the first of them, the Easyfix Handicap Chase, and I Knew Well winning the second, the Winter Festival Handicap Chase, both horses representing J.P. McManus and Tom Taaffe, both ridden by Mark Walsh.
