Pete’s Dream came good at the 14th attempt when claiming the 0-60 event over a mile at Fairyhouse for Andy Slattery.

Jimmy Dalton claimed 7lb off the back of the Elzaam gelding, who travelled well to lead over two furlongs from home.

The 7/1 shot kept on well in the closing stages to record a length-and-a-quarter success over Bella Colombia

“He’s not a bad horse. He had good runs early on but lost his way a bit,” said Slattery.

“We’ll go for another one now. Down Royal was his first run back and we said he’d come on from that.”
