Life’s a beach for at the double Lyons

TRAINER Ger Lyons took the training honours on the beach at Laytown yesterday, completing a double with Cosmic Breeze and Dunne Grand.

Lyons was expected to win the www.angloprinters.ie Claiming Race with well-treated Romeo’s On Fire, which was sent off 9/4 favourite under Johnny Murtagh, paying his first visit to Laytown in four years and hoping for a first win at this unique venue.

The favourite went close, but failed narrowly in a three-way photo-finish, behind his Keagan Latham ridden stable-companion Cosmic Breeze.
