- Condon at double on Where's Bunny

Condon at double on Where's Bunny
Where's Bunny, near side, finishes best of all of this trio

Richie Condon guided home his second winner on the card at Wexford on Where's Bunny
This gave him his first racecourse double as he was also successful on Jakes Dream (12/1) in the opening mares' maiden hurdle. The double paid 96.5/1.
This race took on a different complexion once 5/2 favourite Presenting Cody departed at the second fence.
It boiled down to three horses on the run to the second last - the leader Meehall who was challenged on either side by Trans Wood and Where's Bunny.
Where's Bunny soon picked it up upon touching down and, despite a less than fluent leap at the last, kept on well to draw three and a half lengths clear at 13/2.
Meehall had no answer on the run-in and had to settle for second at 7/1. Trans Wood weakened to come in seven lengths adrift in third at 25/1.
Trainer Noel Dooly said: "That was her first handicap over fences. She had one run in a beginners' at the back-end of last year. She has always jumped well and ran in point-to-points in her early days.
"She ran on Saturday in Tramore and could have won there. Danny Mullins went wide on the winner and we went down the inner. The first four went down the outside and we were fifth. She was just unlucky there, Jordan (Gainford) just went the wrong way. He got caught a little bit and went down the inner thinking he could make up the ground. He just didn't trust himself and he knew it afterwards.
"We had a good second in a bumper on Sunday as well and the horses are coming into form. My dad Robert owns her."
