So easy for Spin Of A Coin If you were on 4/11 chance Spin Of A Coin for the three-runner Group Discounts At Dundalk Claiming Race you were only wishing you'd doubled your stake in the aftermath as the odds-on shot absolutely sluiced home in the hands of Sam James. With the defection of fellow Eddie Lynam contender, Akasaka (coughing), much earlier in the day, the betting quickly suggested that this would turn into a one-horse affair and so it proved as Spin Of A Coin asserted from the quarter mile pole on his way to seeing off Baitsileir by nine and a half lengths. There was a further eight lengths back to Table Forty Six. Lynam said: "Obviously it was a very ordinary race but little fish are sweet. I can't remember winning a race that easily. Sam was absolutely wrecked coming in!" There were three claims in for Spin Of a Coin at 15K, the advertised price. Lots were drawn then to determine which would be successful and it was Kate Deegan that secured the Oratorio gelding.(AM & EM)
