Light off to paddocks with a win Both Lady O'Reilly and Dermot Weld welcomed back their second winners of the day when Chinese Light (6/1) belatedly got off the mark under Pat Smullen - crowned champion jockey for the 8th time today - in the Join Tote Today For 50 In Free Bets Maiden at Leopardstown. Weld, earlier at the number one through Silver Concorde's win (Leigh Roche up) in the Tote November Handicap, said: "She's exceptionally well-bred and a very valuable filly so it's nice to get that winning bracket. She's retired now. She battled on to win well at the line." Lady O'Reilly had earlier seen her colours carried home in front by Chris Hayes on Sovereign Debt in the Knockaire Stakes, and here Chinese Light had to be brave to get the better of Perfect Fit. A head split them at the line. (GC & EM)
