BEING a gentleman, we’re sure Andy Oliver won’t mind if we abandon date order and put ladies first to congratulate Natalia Lupini on sending out Dunum to land the featured Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap at Galway on Tuesday evening.

Ridden by Seamie Heffernan and winning for the seventh time in his career, the seven-year-old Ivawood gelding ran in the colours of Maurice Burns who commented: “I bred this horse with my friend Michael McCartan and took him to Goffs sales as a foal. Many people liked him, but he only went to €2,800 so lucky enough I brought him home. This isn’t even a dream come true, this is a horse of a lifetime.
