Division two of the Join Us On Instagram @dundalk_stadium Handicap was the finale on the polytrack this afternoon and Oisin Orr brought up a 46/1 double on the day, aboard Sarah Lynam's Juyush .

Orr was on the mark earlier for David Marnane on Tynamite , and here he chased the leaders on the Lynam runner, who was ridden to lead when the Donegal man briefly dropped a rein a furlong and a half out.

Strongly pressed inside the final furlong Juyush stayed on well close home, all out to beat favourite Merchant Of Venice by a head.

“He was super and I think he might have gotten a bit of confidence from the last day,” said Lynam.

“I know they really fancied the other horse (runner-up) but he was in great form at home. I was actually quite nervous today but he won well and seemed to enjoy it.

“He tried hard to the line. Oisin dropped a rein and gave me a heart attack but it was all okay in the end.

“He got a massive hike for the last day and hopefully he's not as mean to me this time.

“He likes Dundalk, I haven't had a chance to have a real good look at the new program book but I did see a couple of races for him.”

Juyush is now two from three since joining the County Meath-based handler.

D.E. Sheehy, rider of Fashaar (GB) trained by Anthony McCann, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was slowly away.
