Wed 27th Aug 2008, 17:07

The second race this evening The Ulster Bank N.E Business Centre & Property Finance Handicap provided a thrilling finish with Lord Rathvinden 2nd) of Tracey Collin's battling it out with the winner Kaitlins Joy of Pat Martins with Seamie Heffernan doing the steering.

Heffernan settled his mount towards rear and stayed on well on the outer from over 1 1/2f out to lead close home.

Trainer Pat Martin said afterwards, "I wasn't worried about dropping back to a mile she won over 9f the last day. She's a gutsy filly and we'll either run her over a mile or a 1m 1f. She is owned by Joey Dunne from Co Cavan and he has been a very lucky owner."
