Halford wins opener at Dundalk
Trainer Michael Halford and jockey Gary Carroll combined to take the opening Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Maiden this evening with 10/1 shot Desert Romance. Fri 26th Mar
He battled really well and he loves the fast ground. He is improving with all his racing. He ran terrible the last day, he came back and he was all wrong in himself. He is getting stronger all of the time. We will stick at his game and hopefully we'll pick up another one. The owner Paul Redmond bought him as a two year old at the breeze up sale and it just took him a while to come right.
M Halford
He has always shown us plenty of ability, he ran well here the last day he just got a bit tired. He's come on from that and he got a nice clear run this evening. He looked to have an easy enough time of it out there. I'm delighted for the owner Paul Redmond as he has been so patient with him and it was just great to get the win. We'll see what the handicapper does before we make any plans.
M Halford
