Missile Command and Leigh Roche beats Western Seaboard© Photo Healy Racing
Missile Command justified the confidence of those that backed him from 20/1, into half that price on track, when winning the Lougher Stables Handicap at Bellewstown under Leigh Roche.
Jane Foley 's home-bred, winning his second race, got the job done here off his 47 rating, getting on top from Western Seaboard inside the final furlong, going on to score by half a length. Oor Jock was doing his best work at the finish, and he took the third spot, a length and a quarter adrift.
"He loved the ground, and it's great as he's owned by Joe (husband) and we bred him as well. We'll find another similar handicap," said Mrs Foley.
