The Danoli racing silks are something of a national treasure and the colours were carried to success in the Black Point Handicap Hurdle at Wexford today when Golanbrook , under Andrew McNamara, made all to win for trainer Tom Foley.

Dan O'Neill's famous blue and white silks have seen better day's racing but Golanbrook put in a fine front running display to see off the challenge of Benefit Of Porter by two and a quarter lengths.

Afterwards Foley reported “that makes up for his disappointing run at Cork – I was sick coming out of there because I thought he'd run well. He has lots of ability when he wants to do it.

“Andrew (McNamara) said he should go over fences but I wouldn't be so sure because if things went wrong, he mightn't want to do it anymore!”
