Cleariestown handler Mark Scallan enjoyed a double training success today (Sunday) beginning with Sittin On a Fortune in the colours of the Know When to Foal’em Syndicate who came home one and a half lengths clear of the field in the maiden race for five-year-old geldings with Brian Lawless up at Quakerstown, Co. Clare.
Scallan’s second winner came at Curraghmore, Co. Waterford which facilitated four Wexford winners this afternoon. The Ocean Queen owned by William Bates, Kilmore, was an eight lengths winner in the five-year-old mares’ plus maiden race for Scallan. Luke Murphy was the winning rider.
Barry Stone won the maiden race for four-year-old mares on Robert Tector’s Whiskeyontherocks. The verdict was four lengths.
Jonathan Fogarty saddled newcomer Lead Officer (Finian Maguire up) who registered a two lengths success in the maiden race for geldings.
And Vincent Devereux, Tacumshane, saddled Meetmebythelake ridden by Shane O’Rourke who was the three lengths winner of the first division of the maiden race for five-year-old geldings.
