Compensation for Elle Dorado Rock in Navan’s finale Well-supported Elle Dorado Rock (11/8f) improved one position on Wednesday’s unlucky Gowran runner-up effort to land Navan’s concluding Navan Racecourse Handicap today, scoring under champion jockey Colin Keane . A fast-finishing runner-up three days ago, the seven-year-old today was held up in rear-division, made good headway from two furlongs out and quickened clear of his rivals in the final furlong, comfortably beating The Truant. Winning trainer Tony Martin reported “it was just unlucky for a really good lad (Daniel King) who rode him on Wednesday but just didn't get the rub of the green. Things didn't work out for the horse or the jockey but, fortunately enough, he showed all the right signs since then and was as good this morning, as Wednesday morning. “Lucky enough all went right today.” Quotes from Michael Graham
