Oisin Orr has won the lucrative Bahrain International Trophy for trainer Richard Fahey on Spirit Dancer, a horse part owned by Alex Ferguson.
The six year old was heavily back from 40-1 to 16-1 in the hours leading into the race and the Donegal jockey rode him superbly to pull clear in the final furlong and land the $1 million prize.
