Drakensberg comes good in style to give Lordan brace Drakensberg left behind his previous form in some style for Tony Martin at Dundalk tonight when running out an impressive winner of the first division of the mile-and-a-half handicap, giving Wayne Lordan a quick double on the card. The five-year-old was backed from 10/1 into 5/1 on course and came to lead a furlong out. He galloped on strongly inside the final furlong to record a comprehensive six length success over 25/1 shot Magic Sea. Drakensberg had never been a factor when finishing mid-division on his most recent start here last month. The winner was warmly greeted by members of the Mulvany's Bar Syndicate and Martin said:- “The owners are a great bunch of sporting lads from Mulvany’s pub in Dunboyne. “He had a few issues and things just didn’t work out but it worked out well tonight. “He was a good winner tonight at any distance and any weight, so hopefully there might be another day in him.” (Quotes by Alan Magee)
