Elliott completes Fairyhouse treble

Grand National winning trainer Gordon Elliott registered his second consecutive weekend treble at Fairyhouse today as his De Plotting Shed landed the concluding Kettles Hotel Supporting Fingal Ravens GAA Fundraiser (Pro/Am) Bumper, under Nina Carberry.

Elliott's earlier wins came with Miss Dinamic and Tombstone and it Tombstone's trainer Willie Mullins and owner Rich Ricci who were again Elliott's victims with De Plotting Shed.

Carberry moved De Plotting Shed past Mullins/Ricci's 4/6 favourite Tarare over a furlong out and in the end quickened well for his five and a half lengths wins.

Afterwards Elliott, who secured another treble at Navan last Sunday, today commented “I thought he'd improved a good bit from the last day, and he'll go over hurdles sooner rather than later."
