Crossingoz made it two wins from 22 starts in division two of the Coral Bet E5 Get E20 In Free Bets Handicap at Dundalk this evening as the Billy Fitzpatrick trained mare scored under jockey Conor Hoban.

It took the daughter of Aussie Rules over four years from her debut run in October 2014 to gain a first success, last November, and today the seven year old mare doubled her tally when beating Mulzamm by half a length.

“She loves the surface here” said Fitzpatrick.

“You're very fortunate if you have a horse that's able to do that as not every horse handles it.

“We ran her over the mile-two and 150 yards here before but she's really a mile-and-one filly and that just stretched her. The mile here is lovely for her.”
