Review dundalk 13th Mar

< Wychwood Warrior showed no sign of jet lag when making all the running to land the Elusive Pimpernel Race at Dundalk.

Mick Halford's charge had performed with credit in Dubai and was sent off the 8-15 favourite as a result, though nearest market rival I Will Excel tracked him into the final furlong and appeared to be going slightly better.

Connor King wrapped up a double in the first two races, culminating in Almadaa s success in the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

King overcame a wide draw on the Terence O'Brien-trained 2-1 chance, happily taking a lead into the home straight before striding on well to score by a length and a half from Dashing Lady < County Wexford showed some tremendous battling qualities to land the Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Apprentice Handicap.

Jim Bolger's 8-1 chance led for much of the race under Daniel Redmond, only to be headed by Reckless Lad entering the final furlong.
