White and green silks Denis Linehan wins on Time Stands Still

The small County Wexford yard of Willie Martin is on a great run and they took the Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Apprentice Handicap with Time Stands Still at Dundalk.
This 16/1 chance was following up on her Ffos Las success from 12 days back and with Denis Linehan up the front-running Dandy Man filly was all out close home to hold on from Gunmaker by half a length.
Less than two lengths split the first seven home.
Rolanna was the Martins last runner, and she won at Navan over hurdles last Sunday.
The winning trainer's son Michael said: "Typical filly once they get their head in front once they'll do it again. We found the key to her out in front and just let her roll. Denis gave her a peach from a bad draw.
"They said it was heavy in Ffos Las but it wasn't really heavy — they were getting through it. She'll go on any ground and is an easy filly to train. We'll keep tipping away with her."
