Cascavelle (14-1) got back on track with a dominant display in the Floodlit Friday Nights Handicap at DundalkFri 10th Nov

Menelik claims eighth win at Dundalk

Menelik was the narrow winner of the opening Dundalk Stadium Claiming Race at Dundalk today and the eight-times winner subsequently avoided being claimed, much to the relief of his trainer Des Donovan. Fri 10th Nov

After race at Dundalk Fri, 10th Nov, 2017 (1st)

it took all of Pat Smullen to get him home there! He was third at Chelmsford the last time over five and we probably should have made it on him. He did it well there tonight and I'd say if we had been drawn anywhere else, we could have been in trouble but Pat gave him a cracking ride. I think he's better over five but Pat said he stuck his head back out there tonight over the six.
