Walker Stars With Sunday Double

Monday, 16 September 2002 00:00

Te Akau Racing Stables was to the fore at Sunday's Geraldine Racing Club meeting with two winners on the card.

The beautifully bred Irish Belle justified her hot favouritism by winning a maiden 1200m event.

Irish Belle (by O'Reilly) is a half-sister to top-class galloper Society Beau, who is also trained by Mark Walker. She is also closely related to last season's dual Group One winner Final Destination.

The other Mark Walker-trained winner at yesterday's Geraldine meeting was the ultra-consistent sprinter Te Akau Dancer who scored by one and a quarter lengths over 1200m in the hands of Cameron Hooper.
