Doonard Prince is in seventh heaven

Doonard Prince has proved a great servant to connections and recorded his seventh career win in the Sequence Events Handicap at Navan.
The eight-year-old gelding was drawn on the stands’ side in this 19-runner sprint, and came home strongly inside the final furlong under Killian Leonard at odds of 12/1 to beat Brave Display by three quarters of a length. Independence Day caught the eye when flashing home just a neck further back in third, with the veteran Calm Bay completing the places in fourth.
Winning trainer Ross O’Sullivan said, “He’s eight years old and that’s his seventh win. He won three for Liz Doyle and we bought him for John (Bowden) on the recommendation of Dave Keena.
“He’s a real fun horse that always runs his race and these horses are so hard to find. He loves a straight course so Navan, the Curragh and Naas are his key tracks.
“There is another race back here in about four weeks’ time, and there is one left at Naas. A straight six really suits him.”
