Oliver credits Hayes after 866/1 double

Andy Oliver once again proved the bookies friend at the Curragh this afternoon as he completed a massive 866/1 double when sending out No Dominion to land the Kerry Businesswomen’s Network Handicap.

This 16/1 triumph followed up on the 50/1 shock of Run The Red Light ridden by Fran Berry, in the Loder EBF Fillies Race.

Oliver gave all the credit afterwards to Chris Hayes who gave the gelding an aggressive ride building up a big advantage two furlongs out.

The son of Dylan Thomas kept on well under pressure inside the final furlong to beat Gone Viral by a length and three quarters, with Lean And Keen over three lengths further adrift in third.

Oliver said, “He was only bought at the July Sale for new owners Frankie Campbell and his son Conor. We don’t know that much about him, and full credit to Chris who rode him at Galway and it was his feedback that brought us here.

“He’s a big striding horse, and Chris said to come here and he wanted to ride him very positive. He also found the best strip of ground up the middle of the track.”
