Lady De Vesci bags third win in three months in Dundalk's finale

Lady De Vesci registered her third win in as many months at Dundalk this evening as the Michael Halford trained filly landed the concluding Leading Jockey&Trainer Championship Handicap under jockey Colin Keane.

The daughter of Approve gained her maiden win at the venue in October before following up with a second success last month and today beat runner-up Marmalade N Toast when scoring a length and a quarter success.

Afterwards last year's Champion Jockey Keane said “she did it well. She seems to be a filly that is still improving, and the step up in trip brought out a little more. She could be one for those long distance handicaps in the summer on good ground.

“I was surprised carrying top-weight how well she travelled, and hopefully she can keep improving.”
