Another Dundalk double for Dylan Browne-McMonagle

Donegal jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle followed up a Valentine's night treble at Dundalk with a double on Friday night at the same venue.

Letterkenny man McMonagle returned to the Dowdalshill course to take victories on 11/4 favourite Ohailbhic and a 4/9 favourite in How About No.

Aboard the Johnny Feane-trained Ohailbhic in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, Browne McMonagle had half-a-length to spare on Miss Jack Black (4/1).

“When I got there, he did have a look around a little bit but was definitely the best horse in the race," Browne McMonagle said.

“He was always in control and it was only a matter of pressing the button. I would have loved if they had taken me a bit further.”

Browne McMonagle followed up in the DundalkStadium.com Maiden to win on How About No for Joseph O'Brien, with over a length of a martin to 11/4 Sea Wave in second.

That arrived after a quick-fire treble on Wednesday with wins on Andalusian Star (8/13), Beautiful Dawn (1/3) and Neddies Boy (2/1).
The middle leg of those three, the seven furlong handicap, was shared with Jamie Powell after a dead heat finish.
Aboard O’Brien's Beautiful Dawn, Browne-McMonagle and the 6/1 Rebelsontherun were deadlocked as they crossed the line.
"Although we were coming back in trip, I thought we went a good and even pace and it was playing into my hands well,” Browne McMonagle said.
“My horse stays very well and she's tough. She picked up nicely and I felt I put the race to bed but the boys were always breathing down my neck.”
Andalusian Star won the Fillies Maiden over seven furlongs, comfortably seeing off Pepper Noir, the 11/4 chance with Robert Whearty in the saddle.
The treble was rounded off when taking Neddies Boy to a win for Ray Cody in the handicap, ran over one mile and four furlongs. There, Browne McMonagle won by a head from 14/1 shot Hinemoa, ridden by Alan Persse.
