Dash Handicap a one-two for the region (From The Northern Echo)

Dash Handicap a one-two for the region (From The Northern Echo): "NO northern representatives in the Derby, but they held their own in the rest of the races at Epsom on Saturday.
The famous five furlong Dash Handicap was a one-two for the region, with Dandy Nicholls’ Indian Trail beating the Tim Easterby- trained Captain Dunne by a short head.
Nicholls saddled four runners in the race; Strike Up The Band also ran a great race to finish third for the Thirsk trainer.
Afterwards Nicholls said: “It’s our Derby and I am excited for all of us. It’s hard keeping everyone happy when you saddle four, but I thought this one was unlucky here in April when he was drawn wide.”"
