Elimay different class in Killarney Willie Mullins' Elimay enjoyed herself in front in the Listed BetVictor Mares Hurdle at Killarney. Paul Townend, in the JP McManus silks, sent her about her business after the third last and the frontrunner soon had the opposition off the bridle. A good jump at the last enabled the 8/15 favourite to coast home by a comfortable seven lengths from Kilbarry Way (22/1). Racing manager Frank Berry said: "Conditions of the race suited her quite well and you'd be very pleased with her. "She doesn't mind being in front, she goes a good gallop and she jumps. "She kept going and Paul (Townend) said she wouldn't want it any quicker than it is. We'll see where she can go and I don't think she'd be quick enough for a Galway Hurdle as in that type of race she'd want more of a trip. "She is going the right way and if she stays in one piece she'll give us lots of fun." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
