IT was good to see that half of the six races run at the East Down point-to-point at Tyrella on Saturday were won by Northern-trained horses with Warren Ewing saddling two of the four maiden winners. His Tango Theatre, his only other runner, finished second in the five-year-old mares’ maiden.

The Bernice Stables handler initiated his brace in the Armstrong Auctions five-year-old geldings’ maiden with Only The Bold who had unseated his rider on his only other start at Borris House in early December. “This is a real proper horse,” said Ewing of the Jeremy gelding, a half-brother to the 10-time winner Westerner Lady.
