Donegal jockeys Oisin Orr and Martin Harley were in the winners’ enclosure yesterday.

Orr won the feature race, the EOS IT Solutions Handicap, at Dundalk yesterday evening.

The Ballyarr man took victory by the narrowest of margins aboard Alfredo Arcano. Orr and Alfredo Arcano had just a neck to spare on the other 15/8 joint favourite in the race, Dali.

Over the final furlong, Alfredo Arcano held on to edge out Aidan O’Brien’s mount.

Orr was riding for Royal Ascot-winning trainer David Marnane.

At Newbury, meanwhile, Harley had success on Alan King’s Outofthequestion in the Parkway Shopping Handicap.

Harley took his 53rd win of the year, with half-a-length to spare from the 33/1 shot Ochos Rios.

Outofthequestion, sent off at 11/2 hit the front a furlong from home to give Harley – who won on Henry Candy last weekend at Nottingham – his latest win.
