WHILE southern trainers dominated the results at Downpatrick last Sunday, Draperstown’s Noel Kelly struck back landing two of the three handicap hurdles as he recorded his first racecourse double.

First off the mark over two miles, six furlongs in a race confined to mares was the Cill Iseal Syndicate’s Bracka Lily who, in the absence of Conor Orr, was ridden by Danny Mullins. Carrying 4lbs overweight, the seven-year-old Mahler bay won by three lengths.
