THERE were four Irish-bred winners on Saturday’s card at Brampton Bryan where Alex Edwards extended his lead in the Fuller’s gentleman riders championship with another double for trainer Phil Rowley. The pair opened their account in the confined with the odds-on shot Stoleaway, an eight-year-old Stowaway gelding.

The rider/trainer combination of James King and Diana Ralph recorded a double with two Irish-breds, Encounter A Giant (by Kalanisi) in the restricted and Old Pride (by Old Vic) in the men’s open.
