Akinspirit makes it seven Akinspirit recorded the seventh victory of his career when taking the concluding mile-and-a-half handicap at Dundalk. Michael Butler's charge was produced to lead just inside the final furlong by Shane Foley. The eight-year-old stuck on well in the closing stages to hold off the challenge of Johnnys Legacy by half a length. The dual purpose performer had run well to finish second on his last start at the track and was going one better tonight at 5/1. "He's a grand horse. They went off fast and he settled well. He loves it up here," said Foley afterwards. It was the winner's third success from seven visits to the all-weather course. Gary Carson & Michael Graham
