Elliott doubles-up with Ballydunblaze Newcomer Ballydunblaze completed a double at Navan for Gordon Elliott, as she took the Meath Farm Machinery (Pro/Am) Flat Race. Out of a half-sister to five time winner De Benno, the bay victor was sent off a 6/1 chance, having been as short as 10/3 in early shows. Settled in mid-division on the inner by Lisa O'Neill, the daughter of Arcadio improved to lead a furlong and a half from home, and kept on well under pressure in the closing stages, going on to score by three and a half lengths, in the colours of owner John Lane. Fellow newcomer Stony Stream (22/1) ran a fine race in second under Kevin Brouder for Eoin Griffin, while the 7/4 favourite Buck's Billionaire kept on well to take third, another three parts of a length back. Elliott, who was earlier successful with Its All Guesswork, said: "She’s a grand honest mare and she’ll improve an awful lot from today. She stays well and she'll go jumping a hurdle."
