Dahindar again shows his liking for Dundalk

DAHINDAR proved his liking for Dundalk’s all-weather surface when landing the featured www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap at the Louth venue last night.

Settled in mid-division by Padraig Beggy, the six-year-old had to be extricated from the inside to challenge and, in front at the furlong-pole, ran on strongly under pressure to score by three-quarters of a length from Moonreach with Bashin Biyoum Zain third.

“It’s a pity it wasn’t last Saturday,” quipped winning trainer, referring to his Sole Power’s bid for glory in Dubai last Saturday, before adding “He loves this place, but doesn’t like soil. He’ll run again here next Friday, because I don’t think there’s another race for him here until Halloween. I suppose he’ll have to run on the turf for the summer.”
