Jo makes it six from seven in style

MULCAIR JO and Dairyland Tom both kept their unbeaten records in the AIB Stakes at Curraheen Park intact in Saturday's semi-finals and the pair, who have won 13 of their 19 races between them, are set for an intriguing clash in Saturday's decider.

Mulcair Jo came out awkwardly in the opening semi-final but surged past Pork Pie and Tearaway Lady into the bend.

He went clear early in the back straight and it was a procession from halfway as the September '03 pup won his sixth race from seven starts and his last four in-a-row (never out of first two) by three and a half lengths from Tearaway Lady in 28.45.
