There was a second Gigginstown House Stud winner on the day, and a third for Gordon Elliott when One Down triumphed under Lisa O’Neill in the concluding Ring In The New Year On Jan 1st At Tramore Races (Ladies Pro/Am) INH Flat Race.
Gigginstown’s Ferocious (25/1) set the ball rolling earlier under Jack Kennedy, whilst Three Is Company was the middle leg of the Elliott hat-trick, also under the County Kerry rider, in the beginners chase.
One Down was odds-on to go a few spots better after a debut fourth placing at Navan thirty days back.
The son of Arcadio accomplished the task at hand by two and a half lengths and a length and a half from Fitness Du Sud and Yabo
The front trio drew twenty five lengths clear of the fourth home, Born In Galway
“He’s a nice horse and has improved off his last run. He went through the ground easy enough there today," said O'Neill.
“He kept on well up the hill and will be a nice prospect for the future.”
