Mile takes opener in style

Fri 26th Feb 2010, 18:48

Oneeightofamile showed a good turn of foot to run out a convincing winner of the opening bumper as Dundalk kicked off their 2010 season.

David Kiely produced his mount to lead at the furlong pole and he stayed on well in the closing stages to score by a length-and-three-quarters. Turner Brown had looked set for victory when hitting the front under two furlongs out but had no answer to the charge of the winner.

"He's a horse that likes good ground so I just waited and took a chance. It's my first runner in a bumper here," said trainer John Kiely (no relation).
