County Wexford just proves stronger under Daniel Redmond (white) from Reckless Lad and Ross Coakley© Photo Healy Racing
On his first outing since September, County Wexford was tough in victory under Daniel Redmond, in the Light Up Your Night Apprentice Handicap at Dundalk.
The four times previously raced son of Teofilo, made the running, but the game looked to be up for him when headed inside the last by Reckless Lad
However, the response Redmond received when he went for everything, was generous, and the pair were a neck up at the line.
Ger Flynn, representing Jim and Jackie Bolger, winning owner/trainer and breeders, said: "He's improved since he was gelded but he was keen going to the start. Daniel did well and rode to instructions.
"He's a nice big scopey horse and he should continue to improve."
Anastasia O'Brien, rider of Fiosrach trained by Denis Gerard Hogan, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that her mount may not have handled the surface as he never travelled for her.
