O'Keeffe makes all to win on Allen's Prophet's Corner Darragh O'Keeffe produced a fine front running ride on the Sean Allen trained Prophet's Corner to win the Join Racing TV Handicap Chase at Limerick. In front from flag fall, the Colm McHenry owned 7/2 chance, jumped and travelled well at the head of affairs, having most of his rivals in trouble with two to jump. Baldur's Gate emerged from the chasing pack to throw down a strong challenge at the final fence but his effort was short lived as Prophet's Corner asserted again on the run-in. With the former having nothing more to give, Banter At The Bar kept on for second, beaten two-and-three-quarter lengths. Sean Allen said: "We wanted to go to the Punchestown Grand National Trial but he met a setback and the last day, he probably needed the run. He is a good honest horse who runs well most days and he dropped in class today, so maybe was entitled to win. "He needs soft ground and the plan is to run again if he gets it, as he hasn't had a hard season." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes.
