Flashback leads home Porter
Final Flashback holds off Benefit Of Porter

The action in the betting ring centred around three horses – Benefit Of Porter Akinspirit (4th) and Eighteen Summers (3rd) – for the Slaney Handicap at Wexford and though the former was probably a bit unlucky-in-running (had to be switched to get a run) the bookies got a result with the 9/1 chance Final Flashback
Absent for 69 days, Danny Grant got first run on the victorious chestnut son of Singspiel and he held on from Benefit Of Porter by a neck.
Pat Flynn trains Final Flashback and he said: "That was super, I didn't think he'd be fit enough but the horses are in great form and he likes that kind of ground.
"It's great for Dr Alexander Stafford (winning owner) who is a consultant in Limerick.
"He's had plenty of horses down through the years with us and he's been a lucky owner.
"That's this fellow's eighth win for us, he won his maiden for Dermot Weld in Galway (in September 2007)." Bobskier ran without a tongue tie here having lost it on the way to the start.(DM & EM)
