First-time blinkers work for Rose Angel The Peter Casey trained Rose Angel showed the benefit of first-time blinkers when winning the Ireland v England Stablestaff Soccer International Apprentice Handicap at Dundalk this evening, under Robbie Downey. The daughter of Dark Angel, previously successful twice but the latest being just under a year ago, quickened well inside the final furlong for a comfortable win over Beat The Ballot. Afterwards Peter Casey junior stated “the blinkers made a difference and she got cover today and was able to work her way through horses. “She rolled around a bit the last day when she was stuck out wide.” By Thomas Weekes, quotes from Gary Carson
