Review BELLEWSTOWN 6-JUL-2000 Seamus Hefferrnan took the riding honours on day two of the annual Festival meeting when partnering a spectacular 535/1 treble aboard Like A Dream, Springfield Guest and Gossie Madera.Like A Dream was friendless in the market at 16/1 for the Tattersalls Maiden but belied those odds by recording an emphatic victory. The Alzao filly, who cost just 2,000 guineas at Newmarket last December, skipped clear a quarter of a mile out to beat So Much More by eight lengths.Successful permit holder Matty Tynan, whose only previous juvenile success was at Listowel two years ago, said: 'She ran green on her debut at Cork, and has improved quite a bit since.'Heffernan, who finished runner-up in the Budweiser Irish Derby last Sunday on Glyndebourne, followed up on Springfield Guest in division two of the Ireland's Own Short Story Annual Handicap. The four-year-old gelding led over two furlongs out to provide Clare handler Denis Quinn with his first success. 'I took out a licence eight months ago, and have a mixed team of 12 in training,' said Quinn, who gained some of his experience with Jenny Pitman.Heffernan moved onto the eleven winner mark for the season when Gossie Madera led a furlong out in the ONC Recruitment Handicap to beat Queen Sarabi by a length.Alfie Evans saddled his first winner for three years when Illusions Tom caused a 33/1 shock in division one of the 0-50 handicap. The seven-year-old went clear early in the straight but needed a strong drive from Wayne Smith to hold on by a diminishing neck from Rochambelle. This victory greatly contributed to the jackpot pool not being won for the second successive day, and there is a #17,411.50 carryover to today's card.
