Honeymooning Cromwell gets Dundalk present

Fri 26th Nov 2010, 18:49

He has been with Mick Channon and Tony Martin in the past but it has been Gavin Cromwell for whom Five Two has won most races, the seven-year-old gaining his second success for the Navan handler with a surprise 16/1 win in the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.

Well-backed favourite Sports Casual travelled like a dream into the straight and she looked like she'd hold off all challengers when driven on about her business from over a furlong out by Pat Smullen. However Seamie Heffernan had other ideas and he galvanised Five Two into full stride just in time to prevail by a short head.

Heffernan said: "I thought I'd got there, I was finishing fast."

Cromwell missed the success as he is currently on honeymoon in America having got married a couple of weeks back.

The result was another success for the bookmakers following the win of 20/1 shot Mutahadee in the first.
