Blue Dahlia beats better fancied rivals

Fri 27th May 2011, 19:05

Blue Dahlia outsider of the four for the Data Select Race at Down Royal, defied her market position under Shane 'Fifi' Gray.

Gray said: "That's my third win and the end of my 10Ib claim. I rode 75 pony race winners. They went a good gallop here and she stays well."

Tommy Stack trains Blue Dahlia for Richard Barnes and his wife Liz.
