The Andy Oliver trained Vote Of Confidence gained his maiden win, and caused a 16/1 upset, in the concluding Christmas Party Nights at Dundalk Handicap at Dundalk this evening, under Chris Hayes.

Afterwards Oliver stated “he is American bred and the surface here suits him well.

“Chris gave him a great ride; they went off fast and he bided his time and came home like a train. He'll stay further and is in the Sales at Newmarket on Monday.”
