Swan rides to victory in Dundalk

Emmpat has to be one of the most versatile horses in training at the moment and he pulled off a thrilling victory in the feature race at Dundalk’s opening meeting.

Sent off a 12-1 chance for the MCR Group European Breeders Fund August Handicap - the big race on the first all-weather card to be run in Ireland – the Charlie Swan-trained nine-year-old benefited from a strong Billy Lee drive to get up by a head from All The Good in the €75,000 contest.
