Star Links has been doing Shane Donohoe proud on the artificial surface at Wolverhampton but the Cavan handler got to the number one for the first time at Dundalk when Calling You sprung a 14/1 surprise in the iRadio Race Night Handicap.
It's been quite a few days for the Madden family and after 'Slippers' terrible fall at Clonmel yesterday, Tom rode his second winner in three days when getting Calling You home by a length and three parts from Chillie Billie
The big gamble on Oor Jock (at least 12s this morning into 2/1 favourite) came unstuck as he could manage no better than eighth.
Donohoe said: "Peadar Mulcahy (from Dundalk) is one of the main men in the syndicate (All Stars) and he also stands the stallion.
"This horse has been a bit unlucky. He's a bit of a monkey and needs things to go his way.
"I told Tom to ride him with a bit of balls and to produce him as late as he could. He did the job well.
"I've had great luck at Wolverhampton but it takes me ten hours to get there and I couldn't get a winner here up to this." (AM & EM)
