Alfredo Arcano broke the E100,000 mark for career prizemoney won at Dundalk this evening when landing a seventh win in the Leading Jockey&Trainer Awards 2018 Handicap.

The David Marnane trained four year old was partnered to all four of his wins this year by jockey Oisin Orr and today the same combination worked a treat as the son of Arcano quickened well inside the final furlong for a two and a half lengths win over Stanhope

The win brought Alfredo Arcano's earnings to E101,701 and Marnane later reported “he’s a big strong horse and is turning into a good sprinter. I was worried tonight about the headwind and not a lot of horses are doing what he did and finishing off. He’s becoming more professional and we’ll see what the handicapper does with him.

“He wasn’t invited for Dubai but he’s qualified for the dirt there now. Lingfield is there as well and there is a Fast Track Qualifier in Newcastle so his options are open.”
