'That kind of makes up for the whole summer'

Drop The Anchor wins the November Handicap under a drive from Niall McCullagh.

Drop The Anchor won the Colm White Bookmaker November Handicap at Naas. JP McManus's dual-purpose eight-year-old showed a tremendous attitude in a three-way finish. Niall McCullagh, who turns 54 in May, was at his very best to galvanise the winner. It was Pat Fahy's second winner of the Flat season and his third under both codes in Ireland since January.

Dermot Weld is planning an international campaign in 2023 for his middle-distance performer Duke De Sessa. Duke de Sessa won the Listed Finale Stakes under Chris Hayes. Sunchart came within a short head of him late on. The horse was third in the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay on Arc weekend at Longchamp.
