The Eddie Lynam trained Clare Island landed the concluding Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap at Dundalk this evening, scoring under jockey Robbie Downey.
The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor was backed from 12/1 this morning and from 10/1 on track in to an 8/1 chance and in the end scored readily by two and a quarter lengths from runner-up Red All Star
Lynam wasn't present but jockey Downey later said “it was probably wasn't the greatest 0-65 but she did it nicely.
“Hopefully the handicapper won't give her too much for that and she'll hopefully get her head in front again.”
