Dusty at the double in Dundalk

Shane ‘Dusty’ Foley stole the show in Dundalk last night, completing a superb double on Marvada and Banna Boirche.

Under an enterprising ride from Foley, the Ken Condon-trained Marvada successfully conceded 13lb. to Aidan O’Brien’s Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth Up in the four-runner Irish Stallion Farms Follies Race, scoring by three-quarters of a length.

A delighted Condon admitted: “I though we were playing for second, behind the Ballydoyle filly. But she won well and Shane was very good on her. She’s a tough filly and the plan is to get some black type for her. She’ll probably go to the Curragh for the Athasi (on May 7). The Ballyogan at Leopardstown in June will be another target. I hope to win a listed race with her, even if we have to travel.”
