Saint Patricks Day salutes in the Dalrello Stakes

Saint Patricks Day
                             Saint Patricks Day clinches the Dalrello Stakes, returning a healthy dividend for punters.

THE Chris Munce-trained colt Saint Patricks Day has caused a boil-over in the Dalrello Stakes at Eagle Farm, edging out its much more fancied rivals to win at massive odds.

The two-year-old colt jumped as $26.90 outsider at Crownbet.com.au, but was able to find the split in the field in the latter stages of the race to cause a huge upset first up ahead of the fast-finishing Capital Gain ($1.80 at WilliamHill.com.au) and race favourite Snitzkraft, which returned $1.20 at Sportsbet.com.au.

Saint Patricks Day’s stablemate and $4.40 second favourite Ours To Keep finished back in fourth.

Despite his less fancied runner taking out the race, trainer Chris Munce has a bold prediction heading into the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.

The eye-catching run of the race was the second placed finish of Paul Butterworth’s gelding Capital Gain, which bombed the start but rocketed home to just miss out.

Both Capital Gain and Saint Patricks Day look set to renew hostilities next in the Group One JJ Atkins at the tail end of the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.
