Return springs shock in last

Thu 18th Aug 2011, 20:18

Crusoe's Return caused a 25/1 shock in the concluding 1m4f handicap at Tipperary.

Pat Shanahan got a good tune from his mount inside the final furlong to burst through and record a length success over Moving Statue

It was a welcome winner for trainer Gerry O'Leary, who last visited the winners' enclosure with La Chassotte nearly a year ago.

"That's my first winner for Gerry and I've only started riding for him this year," revealed Shanahan afterwards.
