The Bill Farrell trained Stronger Than Me registered his sixth career win at Dundalk this evening when justifying strong 13/8 favouritism to win the concluding Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.
The son of Marju was completing a double for his jockey Bill Lee and the gelding was himself doubling up having won last-time out at Leopardstown in October.
The winner was backed from 5/2 this morning and following the win, Farrell stated "he was very well after Leopardstown, and is enjoying his racing. Billy (Lee) gets a good tune out of him, and he handles that surface well.
"On his run in Naas he gets a mile and a half. He'd a good break in the summer and is a bit fresher than most."
