The Test Your Tipping Talents At PUNTERS.HOLLYWOODBETS.COM Every Dundalk Meeting Maiden saw the 15/8 favourite Bluebeard’s Castle make all the running in the hands of 7lb claimer Hugh Horgan.
Horgan stepped on the gas passing the four furlong marker and his mount was clear entering the home straight.
The War Front colt, placed in four of his seven starts prior to today, stayed on well to score by five lengths from S’All Good Man (18/1).
The 79-rated winner, a half-brother to Group 2 scorer Just Wonderful, was trying a mile and a half for just the second time and saw out the distance very well.
Brendan Powell, assistant to winning trainer Joseph O’Brien, said: “Two runs ago he got into all sorts of trouble and got shuffled to the back over a trip that was probably a bit short.
“Today he's jumped out to be handy, he's taken him along to the front and he's just galloped them into the ground.
“He stays well, he's honest and he's done that well. How good a race it was, I don't know, but he's gone and won and got his head in front.
“It was a good positive ride from Hugh (fourth winner of his career) so that was good for him. I think every winner he's ridden has been from the front so we'll just have to put him on all the front-runners!”
