- Marnane doubles up with one-two in maiden
Marnane doubles up with one-two in maiden
Move left it late to pip stable-mate Sensational Day in the mile maiden at Dundalk as David Marnane and Colm O'Donoghue notched a double on the card.
Declan McDonogh looked to stolen it on the front-running 25/1 shot after gaining a few lengths when nearest pursuers Bass Rock and Move went wide turning it.
O'Donoghue got a good tune from his mount in the final furlong, however, and she got up close home to secure a head success.
"They are two nice fillies. The winner is well-bred and was bought relatively cheaply at the sales," said Marnane.
"I'm glad to get a winning bracket with her and she can continue to step up. I like her as she had a great attitude. It's my second winner for the Goldmine Racing syndicate."
"The runner-up came in from Dubai and showed nothing out there but looks like she'll win a maiden."
