Elliott lands Limerick's last to complete across-the-cards five-timer After his four-timer at Leopardstown, Gordon Elliott put the cap on another memorable day when three-year-old Cumberland River took Limerick's finale, the D & J Glazing Novice Handicap Hurdle. Jordan Gainford rode the 14/1 chance who was running against his elders, and in a handicap, for the first time. Pushed along entering the straight with plenty of rivals ahead of him, the Aidan O'Ryan-owned Elzaam gelding started to motor between the final two flights and headed the wayward Burlington House on the run-in to beat that rival by two lengths. Gainford commented "He was very babyish throughout, but once he started to get the hang of things, he had something to aim at and stuck down his head. There is plenty of room left in the jumping department, but that will come with time. "It is brilliant for Gordon and the team, and I've been keeping an eye on things (at Leopardstown) on the television inside. It is great and there is a good team of horses, good owners and good staff." Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
