Deuteronomy back to winning ways for the Burns family

Reserves finished first and second in Cork's mile and a-quarter handicap for horses rated 0-60 as Deuteronomy ridden by Nicola Burns, came from last to first to defeat Miss Crinshawn by a neck.

The seven-year-old rattled up a June hat-trick last year and, after being unplaced on his last six starts, had dropped down to a mark below that of his most recent win.

Having been slowly away as is often the case, the Acclamation gelding stormed home down the outside in the home straight to hit the front inside the final furlong.

Father of the winning rider, and winning trainer, Robbie Burns said "He is a lovely little horse, he is special to us and I'm delighted for Tony (McLoughlin, owner) who is a great help to me. He is competitive down in this 0-60 grade and was only beaten a length in this race last year.

"A big thanks to Conor O'Dwyer for ringing me early this morning to say his horse was a non-runner, so we got in as third reserve.
