Dark Street (15/2) registered a third career win today - all over Dundalk's 1m2f distance, when landing the One Of The Only Dual Racetracks In Europe Handicap (Div I) for owner/trainer Luke Comer and jockey Nathan Crosse.
Held up in mid-division, the six-year-old gelding improved to lead a furlong-and-a-half from home, and in the final furlong, skipped clear for an easy 4.25 lengths win from Together Aclaim
Comer's assistant trainer Jim Gorman said "the key to him is a good pace over that trip. There was a good pace the whole way and, if he gets that, he'll always run well over this trip. Sometimes 1m4f just gets him.
“Nathan is riding well, and he rode very well last Friday (completing a double) when he wasn't riding for me."
