George’s double reward
THE GRAND prize night of racing was a big success at Enniscorthy Dog Track on Thursday. Barntown man George Roche sponsored the event and was rewarded with a first- and last-race double with his runners, Big Bad Tom and Milands Bob, who were wide margin winners.
The feature race, the €4,500 grand prize final, went to Gorey owner Patricia Flanagan who saw her Fast Fix Alex score an easy win in a very fast time of 28.49.
The grand prize A5 550 yards stake saw a good effort from the Helen Toft (Killinick)-owned Cosy Scolari who got to the lead off the second bend and went on to run strongly to the line to score by four lengths in a useful 30.51.
The grand prize A4 575 final went to the determined Headwire Spike who had ran very well in defeat the previous night and scored a nice win in 31.73 for owners Seamus Dempsey and Seamus O’Brien from Enniscorthy.
The feature event over the next few weeks is the 2016 running of the Red Mills Future Champion Unraced Stake.
