Patience was rewarded at Fairyhouse on Sunday as Zanoosh ran out an impressive winner of the Grade One Irish Stallion Farms EBF Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle to complete a fantastic five-timer for Wexford trainer Colm Murphy and Cork jockey Brian Hayes. “When we started down in Cork and finished a moderate seventh in a maiden hurdle, I didn't think we'd be winning a Grade One. But Colm, whatever he's done since, he's turned her into this. “He’s a good horse, he was giving a penalty away there,” Elliott said of the winner. The finale, the Race Displays Joseph O'Reilly Hunters Chase, was won by 16-1 shot Five Star Getaway.
