Treble for Ger Lyons

Meath Chronicle Racing Columnist Ger Lyons saddled three winners at Dundalk on Friday. Johnny Murtagh landed the big race of the day with a horse which Lyons has high regard for, Fiery Lad, which scooped the €39,000 first prize for the Irish Stallions Farm Handicap by three parts of a length from the Tony Martin-trained Charminamix. It was a typical Murtagh ride as the Bohermeen native got through on the rails in the closing stages. "Rides like that make Johnny the best rider in the world, he told me, following his last run at Newmarket, that Fiery Lad is a very good horse and he was right," enthused Lyons. "Fiery Lad definitely won't run on heavy ground and we'll just take it race to race for the moment, but he'll make a Stakes horse next year," added the trainer. Kinetic Quest and Emmett McNamara won theAuction Maiden before Keagan Latham and Dohasa won the Bar One Racing Handicap.
