Loughnane just denied in the last at Ffos Las

Published at Aug 9, 2011, 21:55

Mark Loughnane was just denied victory in the last at Ffos Las, as his Yourinthewill went down by just an nose.

The 20/1 shot hit the front over a furlong out under Andrea Atzeni but was headed close home by the 6/4 favourite, Navigation Track under Jamie Spencer.

The runner-up was having just his second run in handicap company and having opened at 8/1, he drifted out to 20/1 at the off.

It rounded off an unlucky day for Loughnane, who's Just For Mary was beaten by just an neck in the opener.
