Peter Fahey lands Fairyhouse treble led by 40/1 Bethpage Theatre

Peter Fahey saddled three winners at Fairyhouse on Tuesday, headed by 40/1 shot Bethpage Theatre in the mares' maiden hurdle.

40/1 mare beats Mullins favourite

Bethpage Theatre, a five-year-old mare by Fascinating Rock, beat the 8/13 favourite Rebel Reba by a length and a half in the 2m4½f Mares Maiden Hurdle. Rebel Reba is trained by Willie Mullins and was ridden by Brian Hayes, with Gordon Elliott's Western Shores (7/2) a short head away in third.

Bethpage Theatre was ridden by 7lb claimer Ethan O'Sullivan. She had been pulled up on two of her previous six starts and was beaten in all of them.

Two more for the Kildare yard

O'Sullivan and Fahey, who trains at Monasterevin, Co Kildare, struck again in the William Hill Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle over 3m½f. Live To Laugh, a seven-year-old gelding, was sent off the 5/2 favourite and beat Well Bud (4/1) by three and three-quarter lengths, with Fuusland (17/2) third.

The treble came up in the John Thomas McNamara Series (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle. The 10-year-old Tuckmill (5/1), ridden by amateur Mr R M McParland, beat Hidalgo Des Mottes (11/1) by a length and a quarter. He had also won on his previous start.

Elsewhere on the card

The day began with another 40/1 winner. Three-year-old filly Ard Roisin, trained by Lorna Fowler and ridden by John Shinnick, won the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Academy Hurdle by nine and a half lengths. Willie Mullins and Paul Townend took the beginners' chase with Storm Heart (9/4).

At Lingfield, Unknown Stranger won the Class 3 Sharon Knapp Memorial Cup novices' hurdle at 80/1 for Jim and Suzi Best. The 30/100 favourite Port Glen One fell, and Unknown Stranger beat Wild Wescht by 11 lengths.
