Fairyhouse eases slightly

Trainer Henry De Bromhead followed his stable jockey Darragh O’Keeffe in completing Ballinrobe doubles today, as his Elegantemente (8/1) made a smart winning debut in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies INH Flat Race.

Early jockeys’ championship-leader Darragh O’Keeffe completed a Ballinrobe double today, completing the feat in the Corrib Oil Beginners Chase on the Henry De Bromhead-trained Rusty Harkness (5/2jf), in the Honeysuckle-colours of owner Kenny Alexander.

Willie Mullins’ Bunting (10/11f) bridged a long gap between wins today, as the Tony Bloom-owned six-year-old scored readily on his fences debut in Ballinrobe’s Boyle Sports Home Of The Early Payout Chase.
