Gavin Cromwell completed a consecutive-days double today as the trainer followed up an earlier Cheltenham winner with a success from Clarita (9/4jf) in Dundalk's Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden.
Cromwell completed a Naas double yesterday and having won a Cheltenham chase with La Malmason earlier today, followed up with Clarita which won on her eighth attempt, beating runner-up Go Go Girl by 1.75 lengths.
Cromwell was at Cheltenham earlier and following his Dundalk success, winning jockey Robert Whearty said "I was unlucky the last day when I was beaten a nose on her over six. I think the step up to seven helped her today.
"I thought we went a nice gallop early and I was just able to slot into a lovely position and I was very happy through the race. She travels lovely through her race and while I probably thought I got there a fraction too soon, I hit the line today.
"I'm delighted I'm getting the opportunities from Gavin and many other trainers to ride the likes of these horses."
