Firewalker another pillar to post winner at Dundalk For the second race running, the winner made all, as Firewalker comfortably saw off his rivals to claim the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap. Off the mark in a maiden over course and distance last month, the Robson De Aguiar trained grey had little difficulty stepping up in class. Always travelling strongly under Wayne Lordan, the Amo Racing owned 10/3 chance kept up the gallop inside the final furlong to beat City House by four-and-a-quarter lengths. Wayne Lordan said: "I think he improved probably a fair bit from the last day. He handles the surface and he is very straightforward. "He hits the gates well and he had a lovely draw, so that was a plus. "I was talking to Robson earlier and he said he has plenty of pace, but he wouldn't be afraid to let him use his stride and that he would get the six (furlongs) very well. "It was a straightforward ride for me and Robson had him in good shape. He said he came out of the race here really well, so it just shows you that he did. "It was a maiden the last day and he obviously stepped forward. He's a horse that handles the surface, so he could come back here for a competitive race again and we will see what happens. "I was going a good gallop and he went through the gears pretty well and stayed going out to the line well, so he's an improving horse and is going the right way." (Quotes by Michael Graham).
