Conor Hoban bounced out Oneoveryou good and smart from the widest draw in twelve, and those forceful tactics took the Tagula mare all the way to victory in the opening www.prioritysms.co.uk Handicap at Dundalk. Strategic Force looked sure to go past inside the last, but fact is that he hasn't won a race since December 2014, and he couldn't get by again on this occasion, losing out by a short head. Go Kart ended up three and a half lengths behind the front pair in third.
Steve Mahon has care of 9/1 chance Oneoveryou, for her Claregalway owner/breeder Michael O'Dea.
The six-year-old's other couple of wins have been achieved at prices of 28/1 and 20/1.
Mahon said: "I can't understand how she's that price as she's beaten them before. She was a bit stiff after she ran here the last night.
"Joanna Morgan was the making of me as she got me a job with Matty McCormack when I was 19. He was the best trainer I ever worked for, and he could get a donkey to win a seller.
"We were drawn wide tonight and she jumped smart which is a trick I learned from Matty. He was great at getting his two-year-olds to get out quick.
"She loves to have something coming at her and kept on really well."
