STAGE EARNS HIS KIRBY TICKET AT DUNDALK

Ian Fortune

The feature of Dundalk’s Saturday card was the Con & Annie Kirby memorial Trial Stake and the impressive Highview Stage booked his place in the classic with a tremendous trap to line success in a rapid 28.54.

Owned jointly by Anthony Rooney and Owen Sweetman, the massive son of Ballymac Anton and Highview Daisy forced his way around in front and duly proceeded to make every inch, seeing off Are Malikian by three lengths.
