Pakidis records fourth Dundalk winner

Ex-jockey and former US based trainer Georgios Pakidis has made an excellent initial impression since his first Irish win last month and the Greek native registered his fourth success at the venue this evening with Boughtforasong which landed the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap under Gary Carroll.

Pakidis, from Athens and who trained on the east coast of the US for six years following 16 years as a professional jockey, came to some sort of prominence through his handling of the much improved Togoville in recent weeks and following Boughtforasong's win today stated "she had a little problem in the stalls but we worked on it all week.

"She should have won last week when she broke badly and was only beaten two lengths. She broke well today though and I'm delighted with her. We nearly got the double with Togoville (runner-up in an earlier race) but he ran well again."
