Smullen seen to good effect

Fri 27th Mar 2009, 19:45

Punters were kept happy at Dundalk this evening when 7/4 favourite Dreams Forever of Dermot Weld's came home in front in The Bar One Racing Median Auction Maiden under champion jockey Pat Smullen.

Smullen made all on the Bachelor Duke gelding and kept on well inside the final furlong to hold off the fast finishing Curling Bird from the Paul Deegan stable by 1 ? length.
