Walsh and McManus land Wexford double

Mark Walsh and JP McManus sealed their Wexford double when Whatareudoingtome outstayed the opposition in the extended three mile one handicap chase.

The 11/10 favourite went on with Tooreen as the race unfolded coming to the second last.

The six-year-old gelding landed in the lead and dourly stayed on after the last to put three and a half lengths on Tooreen (7/2).

Handler Philip Dempsey said: "It was grand to get it. It was a bad race. He got confidence from the last day.

"It's hard to know what to make of that sort of race, with a couple of fences (omitted) and a 14-year-old the second favourite. He will go for something similar now. The ground is terrible but they only hacked and it was sprint home."

The third and fourth fences were omitted on each of the circuits in this race.

Walsh and owner McManus had teamed up in the previous race to good effect with Concordin
