Griffin takes last Eoin Griffin received some compensation this evening after his charge St Devote (2/5fav) took the concluding race on this evenings card, the Gosh Cosmetics Ladies Flat Race in the hands of Nina Carberry. Winning trainer Griffin said afterwards: “I’m glad one of the horses got up this evening. He’s a nice horse and I hope he has a nice future. We will probably go for a maiden hurdle next with him.” “This lad is owned by a syndicate which includes international football players John O’Shea and Stephen Hunt so I’m delighted he won for the lads.” Griffin also said of Lucky Wish: “We were worried about the ground but I just felt on paper he had so much in hand I thought he’d win and we were very disappointed.” “Barry just said he hated the ground and he knew he was in trouble after the third hurdle.”
