Portsalon races took place on a sun-drenched Sunday afternoon and it was again Our Bridget for Dahiti Gormley who was so impressive remaining unbeaten this season under a very cool Nina Doherty winning the ten furlong open. The opening race a 2 mile open saw Here We Go Again return to something like it’s best to win snugly from Roll The Dice with Big Jim back in 3rd Spot. Little Heart got back to winning ways in the 15 hands race for Paddy Finnegan holding of the late thrust of Dream Dancer by half a length while Stop on Red for local man Ben Lecky hung on well in the closing stages to hold of the challenge of Let’s Try Again. Shake Me who won at this meeting last season returned to his best making most of the running under an ultra cool Casey Lou Carberry who hails from Co Meath. Lessons Learn taught them another fine lesson in the 148cm pony race with the very talented Cameron Cromwell in the plate while an another star of the future Thady Finnegan got on the score sheet in the lucky last aboard Smokey Lady who took the 12/2 abs 13/2 combined. Racing at Raphoe is the next local one on Saturday 25th July.
