‘Slippers’ boots home another double

Niall ‘Slippers’ Madden continued in top form when completing a 146/1 double on Definite Ridge and Namarama in Downpatrick yesterday.

The Edward O’Grady trained 20/1 shot Definite Ridge, blinkered for the first time, proved a convincing winner of the Boy Named Sue Raceday Maiden Hurdle, in which odds-on favourite Bondage flopped.

O’Grady admitted: “I always though he had ability, but it’s all about producing it on the track. The blinkers seemed to improve him and I was expecting him to run well, although I intended running him in the next, the handicap, but his owner (Donal O’Connor) had another horse for it.”
