Dandridge comes to the last in Wexford© Photo Healy Racing
Dandridge thundered away from his five rivals in the Casey Precast Handicap Chase at Wexford to win at 7/2.
Johnny Burke went for home on the run to the second last and he had a willing partner who galloped on relentlessly to take this two and a half mile contest by eight and a half lengths. Boher Call (9/2) could make no impression on the winner but kept on for second. Gallant Tipp was backed down to 9/4 favourite but finished last.
Athur Moore said: "It is nice to win the race again. He is a flat-bred horse more or less but he is a grand big stamp of a horse.
"The day he won at Tramore he was flat to the board as it was too sharp for him. I was looking forward to stepping him up to two and half to find out would he get it and he got it well. It is going to open doors for him now big time.
"This is his ground and hopefully we will get another run into now before it goes. We won't run him on heavy ground. He is going to be 120 now or near enough to it so he will be stepping up again.
"He should go on now, he is the right age and hopefully he will have a good future. It is nice to have a good horse for Mr Bartlett.
"We will place him carefully over the winter and we won't run him on real heavy ground. He is more of a autumn, spring, summer horse."
This was the third victory of Dandridge's career. He previously won a maiden hurdle in Galway and a chase at Tramore.
Moore landed this race last year with Mitebeall Forluck.
