Rosebud maintains unbeaten record this year

The Pat Martin trained Lady Rosebud maintained her 100% record for 2017 with a second win this year at Dundalk today, in the Follow Dundalk Stadium On Twitter Handicap.

The daughter of Sir Prancealot won under Wayne Lordan at the Co Louth venue on January 13 and followed up under the same rider today, scoring a two lengths win over Wingingit

Martin later stated “she seemed to have come forward nicely from her first win here. We were happy with her coming in and Wayne said everything went right for her. She settled well today and they went a good pace.

“I was a bit concerned stepping up to a mile that she mightn't settled well enough but they went hard, she switched off and picked up well.

“She may come back here before this (winter series) ends as she handles the surface well, but I would think she'll like the grass.

“She's going the right way and I'd imagine she'll even get further in time but a mile is far enough at the minute.”
