Knockgraffon becomes a hat-trick hero

Fri 16th Dec 2011, 21:55

One of the many who loves his Friday nights out in December is Knockgraffon Lad who scored for the third Friday night in succession at Dundalk, when winning the concluding [email protected] Handicap (div 2).

Ridden by usual rider and promising 7lbs claimer Colin Keane, the winner squeezed between horses to get to the front inside the final furlong before scoring a cosy length and a half success over Word For Word

Afterwards winning trainer Michael Byrne stated “I wasn’t going to come back until January with him but he was so well in himself I decided to bring him back today. He’s a good horse and he’ll make a good dual purpose horse.”
