Amemri completes Dundalk hat-trick Amemri (11/2) completed a hat-trick of consecutive Dundalk winners today, as the David Marnane-trained filly landed the Dundalk Winter Series Leading Trainer & Jockey Championship Handicap under regular rider Luke McAteer. The five-year-old today raced with the leaders and while she wandered slightly when improving to lead inside the final furlong, held on to score by a half-length from Pink Olaxis. It was Amemri’s seventh career success and Marnane reported "she is progressive, is a grand filly and she keeps my missus (owner Melanie Marnane) happy! “Amemri is great to have around the yard: she is a big, strong filly and just has developed well. She has got bigger and stronger. We liked her as a two-year-old and she just disappointed us, then she came back as a three-year-old and won a few. She was an online sale (in December 2023) but wasn't making much, so we brought her back.” He added “she is in the finals’ day here, so hopefully she will come back for that and she actually has good form on the turf as well. We haven't run her much on it and she has won in Listowel and Limerick but doesn't want extremes of going. "She is always consistent anyway and that is all you really want from them."
