British trainer Kevin Ryan’s good record at Dundalk continued at the venue this evening when his Key Breeze was rewarded for four recent placed efforts with a win in the Christmas Parties At Dundalk Handicap.

Jockey Pat Smullen tracked the leaders on the son of Exceed And Excel, produced him to lead over a furlong out before staying on well to defeat Prince Of Fashion

Ryan was not present for his eighth winner at the venue (from just 24 runners) but winning owners Allan Kerr & Peter McGivney, from Fenwick near Kilmarnock, Scotland were on hand to mention “we both flew into Belfast today and Kevin told us the horse would run well. The plan was to get a win and we might be back here again soon!”
