Scobie skates home in Leopardstown finale Sent off a 25/1 shot, Only One Scobie ploughed through the mud, in driving rain, in the concluding mile handicap at Leopardstown this evening. Luke McAteer made the running on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding and he had his rivals at work turning for home. The Galileo Gold gelding galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a five-length win over Cosmic Funk. It was a significant improvement on previous form from the three-year-old, on his eighth career start. "Just the ground, I think,” said Flynn afterwards. “He got a fright in front and he kept going. He had a good run in Gowran on soft ground." (Quotes by John O’Riordan)
