Down but not out — Elliott wins despite favourite's fall
Down Royal's week-delayed high-profile fixture began with the chaotic Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle today which was won by Gordon Elliott's Zefiro Dodville (33/1 — 12s), with stablemate Better Days Ahead (8/15f) falling. Fri 10th Nov
Rothwell's Fool gets Busy in the bumper
Newcomer The Busy Fool upset better fancied rivals in the bumper when scoring at 28/1 in the hands of Phidelma Elvin. Thu 19th Oct

He is big raw horse, we took our time with him and he is improving. The nicer ground has brought out improvement as well and that will sharpen him. He had been placed in three maiden hurdles at good winter tracks and hopefully he will come forward now. I'll see how he is tomorrow and we might keep him for another fortnight or let him off and forget about him until maybe Down Royal next November. He won't see a chase fence for 12 months.

That was unbelievable and the owners (Seamus Carthy and Tony Murray, from Ballinasloe) have been so patient. Philip bought him at the sales, we've liked him but is a fine big horse who needed time. The owners were willing to give him that time and it has paid off. He showed a little bit galloping on grass at home and all credit goes to Marie who rides him out at home and has done the majority of work with him. He is only going to improve from today. I'm in Philip's every day, I'm there three years now and he is so good to me.
