< Sir Walter Scott looks like one for the notebook after the Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Galileo made a winning racecourse bow in the www.sesif.org Race at Dundalk.
A three-parts brother to Irish Derby winner Frozen Fire, the juvenile travelled in second place behind Washboard Sam for most of the seven-furlong contest and was one of three in the firing line coming down the straight.
Colm O'Donoghue got a willing response from the youngster in the closing stages and Sir Walter Scott (9-2) edged in front before holding the long-time leader's stablemate, the favourite Seeking Luck by a neck.< Leitir Mor has plenty of ability but he has become a specialist at finding one too good and he did it again, for the sixth time this season, when beaten by Very Elusive in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
Jim Bolger's colt was sent off the evens favourite and had every chance, but Emmet McNamara always looked confident on Very Elusive (16-1) and struck down the outside on Ger Lyons' charge to score by a length.< Rigoletta (5-2 favourite) is another Bolger runner who has found it difficult to win, notching five seconds, but she broke her duck at the 12th attempt when taking the Security & Emergency Services Ireland Forum Maiden by two and a quarter lengths under Kevin Manning.
Mick Halford and Shane Foley combined to land both divisions of the www.sardaireland.com Handicap with easy scorer Coach Bombay (6-4 favourite) and latecomer Saint By Day (7-2).
Ronan Whelan was sharply away on Reggie Roberts' well-backed Timeless Call (5-1) and led throughout for an easy three-quarters of a length victory under top weight in the www.dundalksubaqua.ie Handicap. It was the filly's third course-and-distance success.
Vincent Ward's Regal Tramp (9-2), second in the Security & Emergency Services Race Day Handicap last year, went one better when Andrew Thornton sent her clear at the top of the straight before holding favourite Greenbelt Star by a neck.
