The Joseph O’Brien-trained Dances With Stars registered his third course and distance success when defying top weight and a 6lb hike for a recent win in the Ladies Day At Dundalk Stadium 12th July Handicap over a mile and a half.
Mikey Sheehy produced the son of Sea The Stars between horses to lead early in the final furlong to master longshot Effernock Fizz by a half-length, prompting the winning rider to state: “He’s a likeable horse. He keeps improving and had to be good today in a competitive handicap. In fairness, he got me out of trouble and was good when the gaps came.”
