Hogan strikes with Hell Denis Hogan saddled 11/8 favourite Fleetfootsoldier in the first division of the mile handicap at Dundalk but it was his other runner, Hell Left Loose, who prevailed at odds of 28/1. Nicola Burns tracked the leaders on the nine-year-old before launching her challenge on the stand’s side passing the two pole. Hell Left Loose bagged a narrow lead over a furlong from home and stuck on gamely in the closing stages to hold the finish of Hale Bopp by a short-head at the line. Fleetfootsoldier met traffic in running in the straight and could only finish Burns said: "Denis said to be handy enough and he jumped smart. I had a nice lead into the straight - he nearly got caught, but he stays every bit of the mile.  "Just as I passed the line, I saw his (Hale Bopp) head coming but I thought I was up. "The plan was that if there wasn't much pace we would go on and make it, but I was kind of happy to take the lead in the straight. "Hopefully, there's many more in the winter (for him)."
