Pat Coffey, a familiar face in the ownership and training ranks in the point-to-points, sent out his first winners under Rules when saddling a double at Huntingdon today.
The Nenagh-based dairy farmer employed the services of Davy Russell for both Saddlers Deal and That's A Fact and the pair obliged at combined odds of nearly 24/1.
Both horses are also owned by Coffey and Saddlers Deal (8/1) triumphed by a comfortable eleven lengths in the handicap chase whilst it was also pretty comprehensive in the maiden hurdle for That's A Fact (7/4 joint favourite), a five length scorer.
