Ten-up for Goal

Goal will probably be for some time remembered as the horse that won the Champion Jockeys race on the big J T McNamara and Jonjo Bright fundraising day at Limerick and the Mujadil gelding made it career win number ten tonight in the Christmas Parties At Dundalk Handicap.

Successful under big names such as Seb Sanders, Jason Maguire and Johnny Murtagh (at Limerick) in the past, Joseph O'Brien got his name on the score-sheet aboard Willie McKay and Gordon Elliott's representative here, getting the better of Ned's Indian by a length and a quarter.

O'Brien disclosed: "I would have liked to have been handier but they galloped good and quick and I was able to mosie into the race and in fairness he tried all the way to the line." (MG & EM)
