Jack takes mile contest Ask Jack showed the benefit of a comeback race just over two weeks ago at the course when landing the mile handicap at Dundalk. Joe Murphy's charge hit the front two furlongs out under Wayne Lordan and kept on well to score by a length-and-three quarters from Ajman. "He came on from his first run here when he got left in the stalls," said the trainer's son and namesake. "We'll probably go jumping and he'll make a nice hurdler."
