Johnny Murtagh recorded a quick double this evening when winning the Dodder Handicap aboard the Eoin Griffin trained Finicius

Murtagh settled his mount in rear came with well time run to lead close home and record a length and a quarter win over Dotada 0AWinning trainer Griffin said afterwards: “It was a long time coming, he has had his fair share of wind problems in the past.”

“It’s not easy to find races for him with his rating. He has been running in Listed company and has been running well without winning.”

“There is a Listed Race in him someday. We were happy to win today and it’s great for the owner Ray Stokes who is a local man and it’s his first winner here.”

"He performs well around Dundalk and that'll be starting up soon, so we'll get a race up there."
