Martin praises Rutledge as pair win again

Siobhan Rutledge is making notable progress in her career in recent months and the apprentice jockey received high praise from Tony Martin at Dundalk today as she steered her second winner for the trainer when Drakensburg won the Find Us On Facebook @dundalkstadium Handicap.

The pair combined to win with The Mouse Doctor at the venue last Friday and following today's length and a quarter win over Sister Eliza trainer Martin stated “Colin Keane wouldn't have given him any better of a ride and that's the difference when you have a good 7lb claimer.

“When you claim 7lb off and things go right it's some help.”

He added”he deserved that as he's been knocking on the door.

“He's been a very genuine horse for everyone who has been involved with him over the years. He's given everyone plenty of fun.”
