The incident-packed Tote European Breeders Fund Mares Handicap Hurdle at Galway today went for export with the Brian Ellison British trained Our Kylie winning under jockey Danny Mullins.

The four year old daughter of Jeremy was ahead of each of three incidents in the race, which claimed five fallers Flaviana Sweet Cherry Elusive Ivy Crystal Pearl and The Conker Club In the end Our Kylie improved to lead at the final flight before staying on gamely for a two and three parts of a lengths win over Floral Fantasy

Following the race, Ellison stated “she was lucky to keep out of trouble and was on the inside but moved out and missed the trouble.

“She's a very very tough mare and jumps well. She won on the Flat last week and made hard work of it but that's the way she is.

“I saw this race about a month ago and this looked tailor-made but it's still difficult and you need a bit of luck.

“She got a great ride and for a 0-123 (handicap), the prize-money is fantastic and you just don't get that in England.”
