Review dundalk 14th Oct

< Blue Moon led home a one-two for British raiders in the feature Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap at Dundalk.

The Kevin Ryan-trained four-year-old (13-2), carrying the colours of Guy Reed, is a prolific winner on the all-weather tracks and was following up a success at Wolverhampton last week.

Declan McDonogh pulled the grey wide for her challenge and she hit the front a furlong and a half out before stretching clear of Richard Fahey's top-weight Sioux Rising by three lengths.

The Eddie Lynam-trained Balmont Mast could hardly have been more impressive as he followed up a Navan victory by defying top weight in the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.

Johnny Murtagh was never far off the pace on the 11-4 favourite, who was produced just inside the final furlong and quickened right away to score by three and a half lengths.

Newcomer Seventh Avenue (33-1) completed a double for the Lynam yard when Shane Foley pulled him to the outside for a late thrust to capture the second division of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden by a head.

Dermot Weld introduced a nice filly in the Moyglare Stud colours in Stunned Silence (12-1), who got up close home to beat Wave by three-quarters of a length in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden under Pat Smullen.

Stablemate Storm Lightning went close to giving the trainer another victory when challenging strongly in the first division of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

But he could not quite catch the Ger Lyons-trained youngster Rogue Element (11-8 favourite), who led inside the final furlong in the hands of Johnny Murtagh and kept going well to score by half a length.

The Bookings at dundalkstadium.com Handicap fell to the Peter Fahey-trained Obviously (8-1), who was delivered late by Joseph O'Brien to cut down Golden Shoe and win by a length and a half.
