Walsh & McManus record double

Sat 14th Feb 2009, 14:58

Joe Crowley made a welcome return to winner's enclosure when Knock On The Head landed The Irish Stallions EBF Handicap Chase under Mark Walsh for owner J P McManus making it a double on the day for the jockey and owner.

Damian Bryne assistant trainer to Crowley said afterwards, "The yard has been under a bit of a cloud and we'll probably go for a similar type race for this lad."
