Gordon Elliott completed a four-timer when 11/8 favourite The Last Mardi landed the Peter Eastwood Bookmaker (Pro/Am) Flat Race.
The Ballinrobe winner tracked the leaders and was pushed along in second two furlongs out by Harry Swan. He made headway to lead a furlong out and was ridden out to beat Miss Fourie by three parts of a length. Dreamz was another four and a quarter lengths away in third.
Elliott said: "He could actually run in a long distance amateur Flat race and he could go jumping soon.
"He's a big, raw horse and there is plenty in him. He was always doing what he had to do and Harry (Swan) gave him a lovely ride."
