The opening race this evening at Dundalk, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden was won by the Jim Bolger trained Free Judgement in the hands of Kevin Manning.

Manning sent the Vindication colt to the front with over two furlongs to race and kept on well for an easy four and half lengths win over Titus Aurelius

Winning jockey Manning stated afterwards: “This horse was very unlucky in running in the Goffs Million Sprint at the Curragh.”

“He travelled very well this evening and he won impressively in the end. He was entitled to win on his form.”
