Jered Maddox enjoys first visit to Laytown

Jered Maddox trained for the City Equine II Syndicate by David Marnane, really enjoyed his first taste of beach racing when blitzing the field in the Tote Never Beaten By SP Handicap.

The five-time winner at Dundalk, partnered by Daniel King, raced in mid-field on the outer and closed from halfway before picking up well to lead over a furlong out. He quickly raced clear to beat Pulse Of Shanghai by an emphatic five and a-half lengths.

Marnane said: "Trainer error, I probably should have brought him here years ago! They either like it or they don't and he obviously likes it.

"He had a good run the other day, it was a lovely run in Cork and he was good for here then. He was guaranteed the run.

"He's (Daniel King) a very talented rider and his brother Connor had an awful lot of success for us, a great pair of hands, and this kid is equally as good.

"They should have a series of meetings here, I actually think there should be three or four over the summer.

"He'll probably go to Dundalk."
