Bunclody trainer Cormac Farrell won the first race of the Winter season at Dundalk when Un Bacio Ancora took the six-furlong claiming race on Wednesday afternoon. Ridden by Siobhan Rutledge, the 12/1 chance was slowly away from the stalls but she quickly warmed to her task and was well on top inside the final furlong to beat the Jimmy Lambe-trained Darcy’s Rock by a length and three-parts. The third home, Big Baby Bull, was the only horse claimed and he joins James McAuley.
