Elliott doubles up with 1-2-3 in the bumper Keep Him Company led home a 1-2-3 for Gordon Elliott and completed a double on the day at Fairyhouse for the leading trainer in the bumper run in memory of his uncle — the Willie Elliott Memorial (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race. The Elliott trio had the race between them inside the final quarter mile with Generous Risk in front. However, Keep Him Company responded gamely to Josh Williamson’s urgings to get on top inside the final 150 yards and ultimately score by three lengths. The 11/10 favourite Premier Division wandered off a straight line when asked for his effort about a furlong out and finished a further length back in third. Elliott said, “He’s a nice horse, he’s a proper staying horse and you’d like him. “He’ll probably go for a bumper at Christmas.” Quotes by Gary Carson
