The first race of 2023 on Dundalk’s polytrack produced a notable 1-2 for trainer Ger O’Leary as Mark Enright brought the gambled-on Mehman with a late surge to peg back stablemate Primo Uomo in the five-furlong Happy New Year From Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

As big as 40-1 in the morning and punted into 3-1 favourite, Mehman had triumphed on his only previous visit to Dundalk, last September.
