Elliott runners dazzle at Downpatrick with 602/1 four-timer A 602/1 four-timer at Downpatrick for Gordon Elliott was completed by Curlew Hill (7/4 favourite) in the Toals Dial-A-Bet - Check Out Our Exclusive D-A-B Specials INH Flat Race. Noel and Valerie Moran own Curlew Hill, and they also have one of the earlier winners, Soldiers Hill, with Elliott. Davy Russell rode Soldiers Hill, and the other Cullentra House winners, Insane Bolt and Give Him Time, whilst it was Jamie Codd that climbed aboard Curlew Hill. It was going to be Curlew Hill or Mullins mare Ruaille Buaille from some way out. When it’s going your way it’s going your way though, and it was no surprise when the victorious Carlotamix gelding extended away in the final furlong to beat easy-to-back Ruaille Buaille by four and a quarter lengths. They left pace-setter Crobally Boy thirteen lengths back in third. Assistant trainer Ian 'Busty' Amond said: "Another great day with four winners. "He is probably like a lot of ours - he has come on again from his first run. "I don't know whether he will go for a winners' bumper, he might go over hurdles with him. "It's a nice double for the yard sponsors (Noel and Valerie Moran who also own Soldiers Hill). It's a great day for everyone." (MG & EM)
