Boy brings his good homework to the track For the grade (45-65) what Easy Boy produced from the furlong pole was impressive, and that took the Rip Van Winkle gelding all the way to a one and three parts of a length success for Pat Martin and Conor Hoban in the second division of the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap. With cheek-pieces on for the first time the 4/1 joint favourite came through from mid-division after dwelling at the gates, and it was Teagan Angel that followed him home. Easy Boy had assumed control from over a hundred and fifty yards out. "Early in the year he came here and went really well in a schooling race. It's just been one thing and another. He was due to run here a month ago but had a dirty nose so we had to shelve that," said Martin. "He's been working really well and the horses are just in good form at the minute. It wasn't a surprise that he did that. "That's his level and we probably got the weaker of the two divisions. He'll come back in January for something similar to that. Conor gave him a lovely ride. "He might get further as he's a half-brother to Indiana Gal who was decent enough over a mile-and-a-quarter and a mile-and-a-half. "He runs in the colours of my wife (Miss Joan Brennan) so she will be happy." (GC & EM)
