Downpatrick Gamble Landed by Lad
We ran him over two six here the last day, we rode him handy and he didn't get home. I thought he was a huge price this morning at 20s and I'm just delighted for the lads (owned by Dubliner, John Paul Flynn). (EM)

Mullins Completes Double in Bumper
I would have been here to see that fellow win too but I got held-up as my secretary was out sick and I had to do all of the entries myself. Derrymore Dawn has huge reserves of stamina and for a four-year-old to win over two miles seven on that ground was a fair performance. If we could just put a bit of speed into him he'd be alright.
