Dandyville (2/1f) defied top weight for a seventh career success at Dundalk today, landing the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Handicap to complete a double on the evening for jockey Bill Lee.
The Dandy Man-gelding had done most of his racing over six furlongs but today gained his first win over seven, when staying well to beat Hightimeyouwon by a half-length.
Winning trainer Natalie Lupini reported “he's a nice little horse to have in the yard. He was carrying top-weight today so he performed well.
“He was stepping up to seven furlongs and just kept galloping towards the line. He was fit and well coming here and loves it up here. Huge credit to the owners (Dr J Syndicate) as well, they bred him and they are local to the yard.
“We have him nominated for Dubai so we'll see what happens.”
Jockey Lee was earlier successful on the Andy Oliver-trained King Of Gosford in the nursery.
