Winners keep flowing for Meade

Noel Meade continues to send out winners of all types of races, and after Dadoozdart had earlier taken the feature on Limerick’s Flat card, he saddled Henry Brown (14/1) to win on his debut in the 2m 4f Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction INH Flat Race.

Mark O’Hare’s mount, by Mahler, got the better of the 9/4 favourite Eurotiep inside the final furlong to score by two and a half lengths, with Wingin A Prayer (5/1) six lengths back in third place.

“That's Mark’s 3lbs claim gone now,” said Noel Meade after the race.

“I'm not saying he took me by surprise but he's a weak horse. We knew he stayed quite well but I think he'll improve a lot with a bit of time. He's a big leggy horse.

“He stayed very well and jumps very well so hopefully he'll be a nice horse.

“I'd imagine he'll go hurdling now. We bought him off 'Puppy' Power at the Land Rover sale and he's for sale.”
