Stack can sign off in style with good chance of another winner

The curtain comes down on the career of Tommy Stack at Dundalk on Friday evening and the final act in a what has been a very successful show could be heart-warming as the Golden-based trainer might bow out with a winner, or maybe even two.

Stack has trained horses in each of the past four decades but he made a decision this year to hand over his licence to son Fozzy for the start of the 2017 campaign. That means this is his last hurrah, and A Shin Impala and Victorious Secret could make it a night to remember. And a decent show from his other runner on the card, Thunder Speed, is a distinct possibility too.

Tipping a horse with form figures of 08680 would not usually be advised but an exception is made for A Shin Impala in the opening rated race over a mile (4.30).
