Beggars Rock gives Kevin Sexton a second winner at Downpatrick Kevin Sexton landed a double of his own when winning the concluding Downpatrick Racecourse Style Awards Handicap on the Ian Donoghue-trained Beggars Rock. The seven-year-old was sent off at odds of 4/1 to add to his success at Wexford earlier this month. He led heading out onto the final circuit and readily saw off the challenge of 3/1 chance Presenting Lad from the final fence to score by four and three-parts of a length for the Beggars Cant Be Choosers Syndicate. Ian Donoghue said: "I'd say the ground maybe turned up too slow (in Galway). I didn't even want to run him again after Galway and the owners said we will give him one more go. He's after winning two, thank God. "He got it handy there in front today, his jumping is very good. "I was worried that he was down in trip, but we were hoping Finnians Row would go a gallop and make it a test and he didn't, but Kevin was good on him. "I was watching and at the fourth-last I was saying, 'Go on, kick him on!', and he wasn't. "I’m delighted for the owners. I'd say we might end up coming back over hurdles the next day (in Downpatrick) - he's rated 100 over hurdles. "I had him in at Fontwell on Friday and I was going to bring him and the English handicapper gave him 8lb, so I didn't bother. He repaid us there. I rang the boys and they let me go to Downpatrick instead, and it worked out." Additional Reporting by Michael Graham
