Disco Dancer delivers for in-form Elliott Disco Dancer (5/2) continued trainer Gordon Elliott’s good spell when landing Down Royal’s Franciscan Well Rated Novice Hurdle today, as the mare notched a third career success. Ridden by Danny Gilligan, the six-year-old made all the running in today’s race and while strongly pressed by faster-finishing Blue Mosque in the closing stages, held on for a half-length win. Elliott, with his eighth winner over the past four days, reported “Danny gave her a lovely ride and dictated from the front. He quickened at the right time and got a good jump over the last. I'd say the jump over the last made the difference. She's great, that’s job done and you can't complain." "I'd imagine something like the mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival could be next.” Quotes from Michael Graham
