Holohan seen to good effect riding out 10lb claim Reese Holohan had his claim reduced from 10lb to 7lb after partnering his third winner aboard Dontspoilasale in the Floodlit Fridays At Dundalk Handicap. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding made all in this six-furlong event and kept on well when asked for his effort inside the final furlong. The well-backed 15/8 favourite, available at 11/2 overnight, beat Go Out by three-quarters of a length with Mehman the same distance further back in third. Owner James McAuley said, “He's down to 7lb now, it is brilliant for the young lad. He is a lovely kid, and it is great to get him. "Even though he is high in the handicap, he runs to his mark all the time. "To be fair, Adam Grant gave him a lovely ride the other day over a trip that was too short. "The 10lb makes a big difference and he is a kid riding with confidence. I think in the last four or five meetings (at Dundalk) he has had three winners. He has started really well, and he is well able to ride. "We'll keep him (Dontspoilasale) busy and coming up to the end of Dundalk, we might land him in a claimer or two and see if anyone else wants to have a look at him. "He has been a brilliant servant for us anyway." Quotes by Michael Graham
