IT has been a very quiet week on the racing front for Northern-connected horses so we took particular delight in the debut win of Thou Art Peter in the 10-furlong maiden at Naas on Monday.

Bringing up a double for rider Billy Lee, the three-year-old gelding is by Es Que Love out of the unraced Refuse To Bend mare Dubai Pearl. The chesnut ran in the colours of Co Down’s Eileen Heanen who, along with husband Ivan, bred the 40/1 winner.
