CATHAL Byrnes, assistant trainer to his dad Charles, enjoyed his 30th birthday with the victory of On Your Way in the Limerick Novice Hurdle of €11,500 at Greemount Park, Patrickswell on Tuesday.
The winner (15/8) is owned by the pair, along with mum/wife Cora, and the Byrnes operation is based at Ballynoe Stables, Ballingarry.
He was given a fine ride by Seán O’Keeffe, who brought ‘Way through to land the spoils by just a head from 6/5 favourite The Dancing Tree (Gavin Cromwell/Keith Donoghue).
“He’ll now run in whatever pops up next,” said Byrnes.
Limerick, meanwhile, will race next on March 13.
