Dave Marnane was continuing his good run at present after he took the opening race at Laytown this evening, the Ladbrokes.com Handicap with 10/1 shot Qadar with Fran Berry in the saddle.
Winning trainer Marnane said afterwards: “This is a great spot for me I rode a couple of winner’s around here as a jockey for Mick O’Toole years ago.”
“Martin and Lynda Francis bred this fellow and then bought him back from England awhile ago. He had lost his way in England so I’m glad we got the win out of him.”
“We are enjoying a great season this year and hopefully it will continue.”
