< Ringside Humour is thriving on her racing and registered her second victory in three days in the Kilcawley Construction Sligo Rated Race.
Kevin Manning tracked the pacesetting Vivat Rex on the 7-4 favourite, who was successful at the Curragh on Sunday, and made his move on the turn for home.< Jeremys Joy and I'll Be Your Clown gave chase but Ringside Humour wasn't for catching and passed the post with a length and a quarter in hand of I'll Be Your Clown.< Magnification was a big disappointment in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
Sent off the 8-11 favourite on the back of placings behind Van Der Decken and Medicine Jack, Shane Foley was hard at work from over two furlongs out and the response was minimal whereas, on the front end, Sir Dreamalot (4-1) was responding to all of Declan McDonogh's urgings and fended off Youarewonder by two lengths.< Botanical Lady made a successful return to action in the Joe Queenan Gala Strandhill Supporting Sligo GAA Fillies Handicap.
Despite being off since September, Harry Rogers' 5-1 chance burst through a furlong from home under Wayne Lordan to dispose of Queen Zain by two and a quarter lengths.< Mighty Whitey is firmly in the autumn of his career but rolled back the years in the Guinness Claiming Race.
Oisin Orr rode a perfectly-judged race from the front and saved enough energy for the 10-year-old to kick clear in the straight, springing a 20-1 surprise at the chief expense of Zero Euro < Jumbo Steps had shown little in two starts since returning to Johnny Levins, but stepped forward markedly and struck another blow for the veterans, landing the Arken Construction Supporting Sligo GAA Handicap, also at odds of 20-1.< Penelope Pitstop established a big advantage in the Audi Sligo Apprentice Handicap but Northern Sky (9-2) wore her down and then held the late thrust of Miss Ballygally
