“DAN is the man!” declared Tom Power after Dan Nevin had guided his Quill Road to success in the older maiden at a rain-soaked Damma House on Sunday.

The ultra-consistent seven-year-old entered the race having finished in the placings on six of his 10 career starts, and following a run of three consecutive third-placed finishes, he made all the
running under 21-year-old Nevin to defeat the only other finisher Skylanna Skatman by a distance.
