Racing: Dunwoody on 188

ADRIAN MAGUIRE halted a losing sequence of 48 when powering his mount, Buckra Mellisuga, 25 lengths clear on the run-in to take the opening race at Sedgefield yesterday.

That took Maguire's seasonal total to 180, seven behind Richard Dunwoody. But that gap lasted only until the fourth race when Dunwoody replied with a win on Saraville, elevating Dunwoody's haul to 188 - a best-ever personal total. But Dunwoody said: 'Realistically I would think 200 winners is beyond my reach.'
