Wayne Lordan times it just right on Reckless Lad at Dundalk

The Pat Martin-trained Reckless Lad recorded his fifth career success, and his fourth on the polytrack, when getting the better of the courageous Toccata Blue by a neck after a good tussle in the featured Crowne Plaza Handicap in Dundalk last night.

The tough five-year-old provided Wayne Lordan with the second leg of a double, initiated on Aspen Mountain.

“Wayne gave him a lovely ride – he got there at just the right time,” said a delighted Martin, who added: “We felt the fast pace would suit him and he travelled really well through the race.”
