GAVIN Murdock, who runs a barn at the track with his brother Jay, was the man in form at Annaghmore last Sunday. The Belfast man scored a treble with Bobby Barry’s Fun In The Sun, Ruairi McNulty’s Oakwood Mick and Ivan Swindle’s veteran Best of Burois.

The place was busy with a 14-race card. The IHRA seem to be damned if they do, damned if they don’t as regards staging championship races for two-, three- and four-year-olds.
