End Play has favourite backers reeling

It was a hard night for favourite backers in Tipperary as the eighth one lost in the concluding race won by 12/1 shot End Play
The three-year-old filly was always prominent in this extended seven furlong handicap as Jesse Tree led before coming through to head her and see her off approaching the final furlong.
She drew clear under Leigh Roche and won by a length and three parts. Intense Stylist (9/2) stayed on to take second from Jesse Tree (8/1).
Handler Aidan Howard said: "It was her first handicap and the rain came in time. I told Leigh be handy and he gave her a great ride - she's very honest.
"I was hopeful coming here and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on her now."
This was End Play's first foray into handicap company after three unplaced runs in maidens.
