Treble for Elliott as Leader strikes again
Treble for Gordon Elliott

Lackaneen Leader completed a treble on the card for trainer Gordon Elliott when taking the mares handicap hurdle.
Davy Russell, partnering a double on the day, produced the 5/4 favourite to claim Mary Frances going to the last flight in the two-and-a-half mile contest.
The Oscar mare galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a three-and-a-half length winning margin over Allez Kal
Lackaneen Leader was following up on her maiden hurdle success at Fairyhouse 11 days ago.
“She is a nice honest mare who just keeps galloping,” said Elliott.
“She will jump a fence too in time. She has got a nice pedigree so it’s job done.
“Davy said she was keen enough early but the further she went the better she was."
(Quotes by Alan Magee)
