AS was the case 12 months ago, racing at Bettyville failed to capitalise on the large numbers visiting for the Fleadh Cheoil, with a modest crowd in attendance.

The Traynors Of Wexford Handicap Chase was the feature on this midweek programme and, for the second year in a row, it went the way of the Padraig Roche-trained Outside The Door (11/2). Despite jumping left at times, he made all under Peter Smithers and increased his advantage from early in the straight, coasting to a 12-length win.
