Limerick trainer Flan Costello thought he had ended a barren run of over seven years when Fastnowfast passed the post first in the concluding www.tipperaryraces.ie Handicap under Wayne Lordan. However to the surprise of many in attendance the neck verdict was reversed at a Steward's Enquiry, with Lime Tree Valley promoted to first place.
Kevin Prendergast trains the 14/1 winner and Chris Geoghegan did the steering. Wayne Lordan got a three day ban for careless riding. His mount had drifted to her left under pressure. (EM)
