Carr's veteran continues fine spell of form At the ripe old age of 13, Fr Gilligansvoyge is in the form of his life and made all to win Tramore's I.P.R.S. Handicap Steeplechase over two miles, six furlongs. Never out of the first four in eight outings under Rules this summer, including a victory at Downpatrick in June, Richard Farrell's veteran measured his fences accurately under Paddy O'Brien and stayed on well from two out to beat Set the Tone by four and three quarter lengths. "He was fourth in a Ladies Open in early April and he hasn't been out of the money since," said winning trainer John Carr. "I bought him as a three-year-old and he's still going strong. I keep telling you lads in the press that we threaten to retire him every year!  "He's very quiet to ride and everything. The kids all rode him. One thing that we've done differently this year is that we bring him to Laytown every 10 days or so, and he loves the strand. "I hope he stays around forever! Additional reporting by John O'Riordan
