Last-to-first success for progressive Bible Black

BIBLE Black, trained by Dundalk specialist Ger Lyons, came from last-to-first to land last night’s feature at the County Louth track, the listed Star Appeal 2-Y-0 Stakes.

Ridden by Keagan Latham, the Big Bad Bob gelding was produced to challenge widest of all, took the lead at the furlong-pole and ran on to beat Captain Dynamo by three-quarters of length.

Lyons’ brother and assistant Shane commented: “We had a concern about the trip - it was his first run over seven. But it was the ride of the week by Keagan. This horse deserved a listed win and is easy-to-train and still fresh. So, if there’s something else for him here, he’ll run again.”
