Express steams home for Deegan

CURRAGH trainer Paul Deegan took the training honours in Wexford last night, registering a fine double with Beauty Express in the Gorey Race and following-up with Belleau in the claimer.

Deegan, attending a wedding in Waterford, missed seeing Beauty Express, ridden by Willie Supple, land the Gorey Race at the expense of Curl Cat and Words Of Wisdom, providing the Doyle family, from Dunlavin, County Wicklow, with a welcome success.

Bred by Paul and Noel Doyle and carrying the colours of their mother Sadie, Beauty Express was a first winner in the family colours, worn in the past by such talented animals as Galevilla Express, since Touchwoodexpress back in 2002.
