Gordon Elliott completed an across-the-card treble today as his newcomer Three Card Brag landed Wexford's concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Bumper, under jockey Harry Swan.

Elliott's Ballykeel and Cute Cherry were earlier winners at Leopardstown and while the Willie Mullins-trained, point-to-point winner Dancing City started the 1/5 favourite to win Wexford's finale, Three Card Brag outbattled him in the closing stages to win by half a length.

Three Card Brag, a son of Jet Away, edged right inside the final furlong and bumped Dancing City but following an enquiry, the stewards left the result stand.
