Thisonesforollie survived a late blunder to land the Tramore Racecourse On Facebook Handicap Hurdle at Tramore, scoring for trainer Gordon Elliott and his Galway Plate winning jockey Mark Enright.
Enright, who teamed up with Elliott to win this year's 'Plate' on Clarcam, had to sit tight at the final flight as Thisonesforollie, a six year old daughter of Scorpion, met the final flight all wrong but the pair emerged intact and recovered to hold off runner-up Tintown Robin by a length.
Enright later commented “we thought she'd improve a bit because she was off for a while before her last start at Downpatrick (when winning a maiden hurdle). She travelled and jumped but obviously missed the last which didn't help. She was gutsy though.
“The fact that she has got her head in front again, she might progress again."
