Double delight for Condon at Cappoquin

THERE was double delight for John Condon at the Cappoquin, Clogheen & District coursing meeting yesterday.

The Curraghglass, Co.Cork handler won the Oaks Trial Stake with his wife’s Why Tanyardjane and also trained Sonas Chieftain to take the featured Fran Mangan All-Aged Cup for Ballymacoda, Co. Cork joint owners Con Riordan and Kevin Downing.

In his opening course Sonas Chieftain was up four lengths for the only turn against Macroney House and then led all the way for a length success over Top Inquiry, taking the only two scores in the course.
