GUILFOYLE ENJOYS A GREAT NIGHT IN THE KINGDOM

Barry Drake

As expected, trainer Patrick Guilfoyle enjoyed a great night in the Kingdom on Saturday night.
In the €1,000 to the winner K.G.O.B.A A0 Stakes, Daleroad Devon made no mistakes when winning for owner Thomas O'Keeffe. No stranger to big performances around course and distance, the 4-6 favourite hit the front early, and in truth, the outcome was never in any doubt. An outstanding winning run, clocking 28.35 and coming home four and a half lengths clear of Jim By Two.

FLAHERTY'S HARDWARE LERRIG ARDFERT STAKES FINAL
In the €2,000 to the winner Flaherty's Hardware Lerrig Ardfert Stakes Final, Epic Ace, trained by Patrick Guilfoyle for owner John Kennedy Jnr, made it six wins from as many starts. Just like previous winning runs, the 1-4 favourite was in cruise control early and he ran out a convincing winner. A super talented younger, the impressive winner clocked 29.75, seven and a half lengths clear of Ardrahan Honcho. (550)
The track was rated 0.20 slow on the night.
