Scully off the mark as Rogers doubles-up After winning the previous contest with Gentil J, Harry Rogers quickly doubled-up in division one of the Follow Us On Twitter Apprentice Handicap, as Zero Euro landed the spoils, providing her rider Graham Scully with his first career success. Scully who is 22 and from Ardee in Co Louth, was having just his second racecourse ride aboard the daughter of Chineur. A winner of a claimer at Ballinrobe in July of 2015, the successful bay eight-year-old had been out of form of late, but had filled the runner-up spot on two occasions during the summer. Sent off a 14/1 chance this afternoon, she was settled in mid-division on the inner. She made progress to track the leaders from three furlongs out, and was ridden to the front inside the final furlong, going on to score by half a length. Fast On kept on well to take second under Killian Leonard for Seamus Fahey at 7/1, while Chicago Fire was another three parts of a length back in third under Donagh O'Connor for Austin Leahy at 10/1. Miss Ballygally was sent off the 7/2 favourite and she was a nose back in fourth, with Oisin Orr in the saddle for Mark McNiff. Rogers said afterwards: "He (Scully) is a good little worker and will continue to get better in time. He joined me at the start of the season." The double for Rogers came in at the odds of 89/1.
