Dylan Ross is a smart prospect
Those that supported Dylan Ross into odds-on for the concluding T.V.O'Brien Memorial (Pro/Am) Flat Race at Galway never had too many worries as Nina Carberry's mount prevailed by five and a half lengths.
The successful son of Shantou travelled well throughout, he led turning in before being pushed out for a five and a half length success over He's Our Man
Winning trainer Noel Meade said: "We always liked this lad but we had to rush him a bit to get him ready for the Land Rover Bumper. He ran well there but it probably came a bit too soon for him.
"He jumps well and he has the other little gear that the good ones have. He is not over-big, about sixteen one and he should go on any ground. The lads that own him (No Rush Man Syndicate) had Dreadnot with me before but he broke a leg in Kilbeggan.
"I was hoping they'd get a good horse to replace him and I think they have one in this fellow. They are from Clogherhead in County Louth. Their Gaelic football team won the league today so they have plenty of reasons to celebrate now."
