Consecutive wins for Ohailbhic Ohailbhic (100/30) defied a 6lb rise in the weights for a recent first success at the mile distance today, when easily landing Dundalk’s Winter Series Champion Jockey Handicap for trainer Johnny Feane and jockey Ronan Whelan. Successful on his second start at today’s distance last Friday, the five-year-old today travelled strongly throughout and quickened clear to win easily, by two lengths from Merlin The Wizard . Trainer Feane said "Ohailbhic had a hard old time last year when he got gelded and had a couple of problems. “He got the mile great, cruised into it although I think the race fell apart. It fell asunder a bit but he relishes that surface and I'm delighted he won again for the owner (Ivan Holloway). "There's a race on April 3, a €50,000 handicap up the Curragh over a mile, for him next." Quotes from Michael Graham
