Orr returns form the sun to score on Jered Maddox

Oisin Orr made a successful return from a winter stint in Dubai when partnering Jered Maddox to take the six-furlong Dundalk Stadium Handicap in windy conditions at the County Louth venue.

The David Marnane-trained gelding won over course and distance last month and again came from off the pace to lead in the closing stages.

The 5/1 chance edged out Tawaazon by half-a-length, with Royal Tribute a further length-and-three-quarters away in third.

The son of Lawman has now won three times over course and distance plus a maiden win over seven at Ffos Las.

Orr said, “He did it well, it suits him when they go a good strong gallop and come back to him. He enjoys it.

“He's been in good form since he came back from his break and hopefully he can keep going forward now.”
