Reckless Lad (nearside) beating Toccata Blue

< Reckless Lad gave Wayne Lordan a double on the evening by landing the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap at Dundalk.
The Pat Martin-trained 10-1 chance had gone close here at the end of last month but was out of the handicap and had work to do when Hes Our Music set sail for home down the centre of the track early in the straight.
He was eventually reeled in by Toccata Blue but Lordan was just engaging top gear on Reckless Lad, who was produced in the final 100 yards to account for Toccata Blue by a determined neck.
Lordan initiated his brace when Aspen Mountain justified strong market support in the Big Bad Bob (C & G) Maiden.
Backed down to 2-1 on the back of an introductory sixth at Gowran Park, the son of Canford Cliffs relished the drop back a furlong from a mile and finished to excellent effect to account for Hasselnott by a neck.< Peticoatgovernment made it third-time lucky on her Polytrack debut in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden.
After disputing the lead with Multiviz Willie McCreery's 7-2 chance, who offered promise at Limerick and Leopardstown last month, found extra when asked in the straight by Billy Lee and repelled the rallying Multiviz by a length.< Chestnut Fire was another to strike at the first time of asking on the all-weather, justifying 9-4 favouritism in the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Handicap with a little bit up his sleeve.
Shane Foley only had to keep his mount up to his work to see off Split The Atom by a length, and there will be more to come as he gains experience.
Padraig Beggy failed to weigh in on Poetic Choice who was disqualified from fifth, but he put that behind him by steering 4-1 market leader Chatterton to glory in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.< Solar Benny (8-1) took the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap (47-65) (Div 1), with the second instalment going the way of Brosnan
