THE field of dreams in Ballintaggart certainly lived up to its name on Friday evening for the opening stage of the Dingle Festival. A record crowd, in glorious sunshine, overlooking Dingle Bay were treated to top drawer racing and there were doubles for Reese Holohan and Paddy Finnegan respectively.

The biggest upset of the evening came in the 14.2hh contest over a mile when Fiadh’s Fancy put up a tremendous performance to see off Five Stone Of Lead.
