1-2 for Joseph O'Brien as Eagle continues on the up "I tried to keep everything as similar as I could to what I did here two weeks ago," said Shane Crosse after scoring stylishly in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Nursery Handicap (Plus 10 Race) on Eagle Song. Joseph O'Brien had a 1-2 here with Eagle Song (15/8 favourite) easing through from off the pace in the straight to beat Vhagar (15/2 shot with Donnacha O'Brien up) by two and a quarter lengths. "He's got a load of ability and we're just starting to find the key to him now, take our time on him and ride him like the best horse in the race," further explained O'Brien. "He's showing it now. He's come past 90 percent of the field there in the last furlong and he's gone away at the line again. "I'd imagine he'll go for some black-type now, bigger and better things. "I'd say his days in handicaps are gone now so we'll see how he goes from here." (GC & EM)
