THE Big Bab Bob Maiden for two-year-olds before Christmas at Dundalk was divided and the pedigrees of both winners make for interesting reading.

The first division was won by the David Wachman-trained In Her Stride, racing in the colours of J.P. McManus, while John Oxx saddled the highly-regarded Alphonsus to win as a favourite should in division two of the race. It would be no surprise if both winners went on to better things.
