Tom Dooley made it two from thirty two when popping up at odds of 20/1 under Mick Hussey (replacing Conor Hoban who is unwell) in the second at Dundalk, the Ladbrokes Handicap.
A few of the fourteen participants shaped like possible winners in this seven furlong event, but Tom Dooley came home strongest from towards the rear, to beat the well-backed Shabra Emperor by three parts of a length.
Trainer Mick Mulvany said of his father Larry's, Gowran winner from last summer too-under similar tactics-"We've had an argument over how to ride him. I got my way tonight and we held him up. The change of tactics worked." Inishmacateer lively in the market this morning at fancy prices, finished last, whilst another one that attracted support in the shops, Moss Nation claimed the fourth spot. (AM & EM)
