Tom and Rory Cleary have been experiencing a good time of things recently at Dundalk and the Athlone father and son combination struck again tonight with Sophies Echo in the Dundalk Stadium – Light Up Your Night Handicap.

Owned by the Moyclear Syndicate, Sophies Echo was a well-backed 15/8 favourite from 7/2 earlier in the day.

The daughter of Footstepsinthesand responded well

Tom Cleary urgings to beat off Mount McLeod by a length.

Tom Cleary explained: "She's very honest and I'm glad she came good.

"I just might give her a break now but if not she'll be back here in three weeks.

"Rory is well used to her now. You have to ride her hands and heels and you can't use the stick on her."

Trainer of the 7th home here, Philip Byrne reported that his charge, Charismas Birthday was showing signs of coming in season post race. (MG & EM)
