Bahoochie gives Latham a change of luck

SOUTH African Keagan Latham enjoyed a welcome change of luck when Muckle Bahoochie provided him with his first success of the season in the opening www.dundalkstadium.com 2-Y-0 Maiden at Dundalk last night.

In his third season in Ireland, Latham has been a bit overshadowed by Johnny Murtagh in Ger Lyons’ plans in recent weeks but grabbed his opportunity here on the Moss Vale filly, completing an across-the-card juvenile double for Lyons, successful with the Murtagh-ridden Greek Canyon in the opener at Cork.

Stepping-up on her debut run at Navan, Muckle Bahoochie made all, shook off the attentions of odds-on favourite Danziger and then held the late surge of Rockview Diamond by a length.
