Barretstown bags Dundalk's finale Barretstown bridged a two-year gap between wins today, as Conor O'Dwyer's gelding narrowly landed Dundalk's concluding Follow On Twitter @DundalkStadium H'cap (div II) under the trainer's son Charlie O'Dwyer. The five year old son of Red Jazz's only previous win was at today's venue in February 2021 and today ended a 17-race losing spell, when holding on for an all-out head success from Clever Capall. Trainer O'Dwyer said “he has always threatened to win and has been unlucky. He has always been a great servant and the Ladies First Syndicate had him initially but one of the original members Anne Kane kept him, so I'm delighted she did. "He was down to 58 today and was entitled to do it but it was a game performance. He went on softer ground at Naas when his jockey lost an iron and finished sixth. "That trip (1m2f 150yds) gives us options as over a mile we were always just getting touched off.” Quotes from Michael Graham
