Cebuano gains overdue win Cebuano made the break through in the first division of the ten furlong handicap at Dundalk. Michael Halford's former bumper performer had been runner-up six times in his career before today, including when losing out by a nose here last Thursday. Shane Foley produced his mount with a well-timed run to claim Xsquared inside the final furlong and record a length-and-a-quarter success. The winner had attracted support on course, backed from 5/2 into 2/1 favourite. "He's gutsy and on the run the other day he's entitled to win one of these," said Halford. "He enjoys the surface and is a good strong horse so he's well up to carrying the weight. "If ever a horse deserved to win a race it's him. He's a little bit ground dependant and could be a lad for up here during the winter."
