Try Again brought up a Dundalk hat-trick when proving successful in race five on tonight's card, the Fastfix Apprentice Handicap.
Paul Flynn has care of this Dubai Destination gelding for Noel Munnelly, and after being ridden to victory previously by Niall McCullagh and Danny Sheehy, tonight it was the turn of Oisin Orr to triumph aboard the four-year-old.
Try Again (3/1) was never far away, and after leading over two furlongs out he recorded a length and a half win over the slow starting strong finishing Black Agnes
"That's two in two days (Boher Call won for the yard at Thurles yesterday) — it's a miracle!" said Flynn.
"I think he's improving. The only thing that put me off was that they don't normally win three-in-a-row up here. I just thought he had improved all the time at home.
"He had one set back since his last race. On a windy night a bunch of dogs got in and one of them bit him on the leg. He was lucky to be here!
"Luckily he was alright and maybe the few days off did him good.
"He's actually in here next Thursday. I'd be greedy to run him but I probably will! I'd prefer to go to Leopardstown though — that's the original plan.
"It would be more sensible to go to Leopardstown as he will go with a bit of cut in the ground."
