Cook too strong for hotpot in last

Fri 16th Apr 2010, 21:39

Captain James Cook showed an admirable attitiude to run out a game winner of the concluding maiden at Dundalk.

Johnny Murtagh was at work from three furlongs out on the big son of Montjeu but he worked his way to the front at the two pole.

4/7 favourite Behtarini looked a big danger on his outer but couldn't peg back the Ballydoyle runner, going under by a head.

"He's a big raw horse and hopefully he'll come on a bit from that," said Murtagh afterwards.

"He had to work hard but the second is probably not a bad horse and had a run so he's done well to win."
