Delanys' Legend dots up at Bellewstown Despite getting quite worked up and proving difficult to load into stalls, the Leigh Roche-ridden Dream Legend made short work of his 14 rivals in Bellewstown's Champion Lettings Handicap, for three-year-olds only, over a mile. A winner over course and distance in April, the 9/2 favourite got a good position from gate one and led from early in the straight to win by an eased-down five and a half lengths from Cause I Like You. The Twilight Son gelding was bred, is owned and is trained by the Delany family, closely associated with the Co Meath venue which, in August, will celebrate three hundred years of racing.  Alan Delany, son of and assistant to winning trainer Eamon Delany, said "That was good, I was very hopeful. "I know he was a big price when he won here in April, but I didn't expect him to be a big price, and I thought he ran in a better race in Gowran the next time. "I knew this race was coming up, and I gave him a break for four or five weeks and brought him back. He filled out, improved, and got so strong. I was hopeful as I thought he had improved a lot. "I don't think he has finished improving either. "I was delighted with the ride, he did everything perfectly. They are the oldest colours in the Turf Club. "We have a few more runners the next few days, and we might not be finished yet."  Additional reporting by Michael Graham
