Arellano completes hat-trick

Arellano advertised the training skills of Jim Bolger when completing a hat-trick in the space of just over a fortnight by landing the #20,000 Lake District Handicap at Ballinrobe yesterday.

The Erins Isle gelding needed a strong ride from Kevin Manning in this nine-furlong event, keeping on gamely under pressure in the straight to deny Sarraaf by half a length.

Edward Lynam is eyeing up another crack at the #100,000 Goffs Challenge, a race the Dunshaughlin handler won for the third time last year with Berlin, after Yanni showed plenty of speed to take the EBF Maiden. The Pennekamp juvenile stayed on well to beat Golden Glow by a length and a half.

Michael Grassick got off the mark for the season when the Eddie Ahern-ridden Mar Blue was driven out in the straight to beat Nonchalant by half a length in the Mayo Vintners Association Maiden.
