O’Dwyer at the double

CONOR O’Dwyer registered his second double at Wexford last night when Ninth Legion (Davy Russell) out-pointed favourite Winston Churchill in the Ferrycarraig Maiden Hurdle and Prosperity Square, ridden by 7lb. claimer Ben Dalton, coasted to a smooth success in the Tuskar Rock Beginners’ Chase.

Course specialist Salesin, trained for J P McManus by Niall ‘Boots’ Madden and ridden by his son ‘Slippers’, made all to win the Audrey McGrath Memorial Chase, his fourth success on the track.

“He’ll get an entry in the Galway Plate, although I’m not sure he’s a real Plate horse,” said the winning trainer.
