First winner for trainer Robson De Aguiar Robson De Aguiar saddled his first winner since acquiring his trainer's licence when the AMO Racing Limited-owned Bryant (3/1) took the BAR 1 Casino Handicap over two miles at Dundalk. A maiden winner over 1m4f at Roscommon during the summer, the Wootton Bassett colt raced close to the pace under David Egan and headed Gentleman Joe entering the final quarter-mile before staying on well to account for that rival by a length and a half. De Aguiar has been a lynchpin of Adrian Murray's stable in recent years and Bryant was the first runner in his own name when finishing third here earlier in the month. The Brazilian, based near Mullingar, confirmed that he has taken over all the Flat horses who heretofore raced for Murray. Winning trainer Robson De Aguiar said: "Nice to have the first winner. Thanks to Kia (Joorabchian) for the support and thanks to all the team at home. "He saw the two miles out very well. When he ran the other day, we planned for this race and we will try and qualify him for Newcastle (All-Weather Finals Day on Good Friday). The two-mile race is the target for him. He will probably run once more before then." Additional reporting by Michael Graham
