Racing: The Irish Times reports that Bakkar, carrying the Aga Khan colours, recorded a facile victory for John Oxx and reigning champion John Murtagh when coming home well clear of the outsider, Frenchie, in the Riverstown Maiden at Dundalk yesterday afternoon. Despite running green on his debut, the son of Darshaan edged to the front at the two furlong pole before steadily drawing away from the distance to score by five and a half lengths.
