Cielo prevails in three-way finish Gallo Dell Cielo got up late in a thrilling three-way finish to the first division of the 47-65 handicap at Gowran Park. Robin Donaghue-Leahy produced her mount with a challenge in the centre inside the final furlong as five horses fought it out in the closing stages. It boiled down to three near the line with the Pat Flynn-trained gelding sticking his head out at the post to gain a short-head win over Wrist Art, with the same margin back to Poppadom in third. The 7/1 winner had traded as big as 20/1 this morning. Flynn said:- “He’s a lovely horse and has taken a while to come to hand. “He’s owned by Jeff Mahany who is a vet in Savannah, Georgia. “His mother Art Scene won a couple of races for us and I think he’ll want an extra two furlongs in time.” (Quotes by Alan Magee)
