HOPEFULLY all those who paid attention to Joe Marley’s tipping during the eventing season kept the faith with Aussie Valentine who won the mile handicap at Dundalk on Friday night for the Ado McGuinness yard.

The seven-year-old Aussie Rules gelding is owned by Gary Devlin and Joe’s nephew Joe McCrory who had his uncle alongside when he accepted the winner’s prize on Friday in the company of two good friends from their ‘local’.
