- O'Connell and Lambe's good run continues
O'Connell and Lambe's good run continues
Jimmy Lambe and Eddie O'Connell who recorded a double on Sunday in Sligo were back in the winner's enclosure after Yachvili took the BA Morley Memorial Handicap Handicap in good style.
Promising claimer O'Connell sent his mount to the front before the last and sprinted clear on the run-in to score by seven lengths.
Winning trainer Lambe who was full of praise of his jockey said afterwards: "Eddie [O'Connell] is the strongest seven pound claimer in the country at the moment."
"The ground was spot on for him today. He has a superb pedigree, he lost his way a little bit during the Winter."
"He loves this type of ground and hopefully we'll pick up another one, he won a shade cosily today and he has the scope to go chasing."
"We will concentrate more in Ireland this year rather than take our horses aboard."
