INDIA: Dwyer back in the groove with Kolkata double

4th March, 2013

Report: Kolkata, India MARTIN DWYER, involved in a storm at Mahalaxmi racecourse last month when his ride on a beaten favourite sparked angry protests among racegoers, had something to smile about after riding a double at Kolkata over the weekend. Dwyer, whose hearing with the Royal Western India Turf Club will convene on March 17 and be attended by a director general of police, scored on Voyager in a 7f race on Saturday and added to that aboard Klipspringer on Sunday. Jimmy Fortune was also among the winners, scoring on Amika and Nefyn on Saturday's card. However, the British-based riders, which also included Richard Hughes, Paul Mulrennan and David Allan, were out of luck in the weekend's major race which went to Tintinnabulation, who pocketed around UKPND120,000 for connections by winning the Indian Turf Invitation Cup.
