Honours shared in bumper

Mon 13th Sep 2010, 18:04

The concluding bumper at Listowel produced a dead-heat with the judge unable to split Dont Tell The Boys and Eightybarackstreet

Eightybarackstreet hit the front turning for home, under Mikey O'Connor, but was strongly pressed inside the final furlong.

Dont Tell The Boys stayed on strongly, under Mikey Fogarty, and got up on the line to share the spoils.

Tom Cooper, trainer of Eightybarackstreet, said afterwards:" He's a raw four-year-old and could do with a break. I think a lot of him. After he has a break he'll go hurdling."

Philip Rothwell was responsible for Dont Tell The Boys and said:" I'm delighted to have a winner as I've had a lean spell for the last eight weeks.

"He's in at the end of the week in the four-year-old maiden hurdle and may go there next."
