THE Winter Series Awards Day at Dundalk featured eight races with all bar one of them being handicaps for horses that had run at least once at the Co Louth venue since November.

Each of these contests had a value of €20,000, up from €15,000 the previous year, and trainer David Marnane saddled a double with course specialist Jered Maddox (9/1), an appropriate winner of the opener over the minimum distance.
