Wed 18th Apr 2012, 21:40

< Duntle produced a stunning display of front-running to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Dundalk and kickstart a double for trainer David Wachman and jockey Wayne Lordan.

Wachman's filly chance held a narrow lead entering the straight, but piled the pressure on her rivals, pulling further and further clear.

Lordan simply had to push the 5-1 chance out to record a mightily impressive 18-length verdict over newcomer Miss Forde

Their brace of wins was completed when Tannery (11-4) ended a run of three straight second-placed finishes with a half-length victory over Shabra Emperor in the Follow Dundalk On Facebook Handicap.

Joe Murphy and Pat Smullen were also in double winning form, culminating in victory in the concluding dundalkstadium.com Handicap with Northgate

Scooting clear in the final two furlongs, the 2-1 favourite shrugged off the impost of top weight to beat Charpoy by two and three-quarter lengths.

Murphy and Smullen had earlier struck with 9-2 chance Hawkswood in the DKIT Student Race Night Handicap.< Badger Daly (12-1) finished strongly to land the Dundalk Stadium on Facebook Maiden, responding well to young jockey Shane Gray to beat Vespertine by two and three-quarter lengths.< Betterbetterbetter was sent off at 1-4 for the irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden over 10 furlongs on the back of her Leopardstown debut, and she won as her odds suggested she would.

Travelling superbly for Joseph O'Brien, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly was not hard pressed to beat Miss Ekaterina by two and three-quarter lengths.< Grey Danube showed tremendous battling qualities to land the Hen And Stag Packages At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

After finally getting the better of pacesetter Pierre D'Or a furlong out, Darren Bunyan's 6-1 co-favourite responded superbly to Leigh Roche's urgings to fend off the late surge of Khaos and Slim Chance by a neck.< Brog Deas (7-2) shrugged off his welter burden to land the Dundalk Stadium Handicap under Danny Grant.
