Head Waiter doubles O’Sullivan’s flat tally

LOCAL trainer Eugene O'Sullivan, whose only previous success on the flat came in a ladies race with Sam Vaughan at Killarney, doubled his tally when Head Waiter landed the Coolmore Orpen Maiden at Cork last night.

The first horse to carry the colours of O'Sullivan's neighbour, Bob Healy, and partnered by another local, Tadhg O'Shea, the Lend A Hand gelding led with less than two furlongs to run.

Dermot Weld's newcomer, Bling It On, was soon in hot pursuit but still half a length down at the line.
