Dessie atones in style

PRODUCE Stakes winner Roisins Dessie, beaten in both previous rounds of the event, made no mistake in the final of the Macroom Motor Services Stakes at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

Dessie atones in style

The Nick Turner trained dog was an 11/10 chance to atone - and did so in style.

Following a level break he showed tremendous early pace to lead Were In Fashion into the bend.

Broadacres Tommy took up the chase early in the back straight but it was to prove a futile one.

The winner had eased into a clear advantage by halfway, a lead he was to maintain for the remainder of the race - eventually easing home four and a half lengths clear of Civil Law in a fast 28.29.

The Paddy Power Derby at Shelbourne remains his long term objective.
