JODY McGarvey enjoyed an excellent Easter Festival at Fairyhouse where a neck beating in the final race on Monday denied him a winner on all three days.

On Saturday, the Coleraine native won the RYBO Handicap Hurdle on the Oscar gelding Hearts Are Trumps (12/1), who is trained for J.P. McManus by Des McDonogh, the eight-year-old bay scoring by half a length from the same owner’s Magic Tricks (7/1). Hearts Are Trumps, McGarvey’s only ride on Saturday, was McDonogh’s sole runner at the Easter Festival.
