2 for Weld at Wexford at over 15/1

The concluding Borro Mares Flat Race at Wexford was marred by the very serious injury (reportedly a broken knee) sustained by the favourite, Robina Mai, with over two furlongs left to run. As with the opening split of this contest, a well-bred first-timer was left to take the spoils as Unaccompanied's half-sister, Wandering Star brought up a Dermot Weld double (won the first with Tuscan Light) under Jane Mangan.

Ratheniska pleases plenty with her win

Twenty five to one were the odds of reward for a Tom Taaffe winner yesterday, Cherish The Pear at Kilbeggan, a price the trainer described as "ridiculous." Plenty seemed to know that it would be similarly ridiculous to let the stable's Ratheniska go unbacked for division one of the Borro Mares Flat Race at Wexford. She justified the faith of those that backed her from 7/1 into 5/1 in the hands of Nina Carberry.

Longshadow a good winner at Wexford

We had a well-bred winner of the Black Point Handicap last year in Time Of My Life and he generated plenty of column inches in the aftermath. The 2013 victor of the near mile and a half contest, Longshadow has an eye-catching pedigree too and whilst subject to nothing like the same gamble as twelve months ago, Patrick Prendergast's scorer didn't go unbacked returning at odds of 4/1.

Takeyourcapoff advertises Elliott’s skill
