DOUBLE UP FOR LUCINDA

Friday March 28, 2008
SCOTS-IRISH ENJOY FIVESOME REEL AT AYR
THE Scots and Irish enjoyed a great day at Ayr Racecourse last Thursday with three home trained horses winning along with two from over the water.
Lucinda Russell, who trains at Arlary near Perth, saddled a double courtesy of Ballynure, ridden by Campbell Gillies in the opening RBS Saints And Sinners Racenight Handicap Chase and Jefertiti, the mount of Peter Buchanan, in the Dawn Homes Handicap.
The latter was landing a quick fire course double having won earlier in the month and at 8/1 was great value for his half length win over Jim Goldie's Something Silver (3/1). Ballynure (12/1) won by a resounding 24 lengths from Cash Bonanza (7/1).
The third Scottish trained winner was Oleolat (12/1) ridden by Czech Jan Faltejsek and trained in the Borders by Willie Amos. The gelding raced eight lengths clear of Soul Angel (17/2) to land the Book Now For Coral SGN Handicap Hurdle.
Irish trainer Liam Lennon has been a regular visitor to Ayr this winter and Mr Multifix (13/8 fav) ridden by James O'Farrell won The Dawn Developments Beginners Chase after long time leader Lockstockandbarrel fell at the last. This left the favourite to saunter home 62 lengths clear of the only other finisher Nashra (11/1).
Another Irish raider Big Boots trained by Mark McNiff in Sligo and ridden by his 17 year-old brother Luke, bounded clear at odds of 6/1 in the racinguk.tv Standard National Hunt Flat Race to win by 53 lengths from Prosecco (12/1).
Other winners were Companero (2/7 fav), trained by Howard Johnson and ridden by Denis O'Regan, in the Mary Anderson 'National Hunt' Novices Hurdle and Currahee (14/1), ridden by Michael McAlister and trained by Maurice Barnes, in the Saw Doctors at Ayr 18th April Novices Hurdle.
Ayr next races on Friday April18 and Saturday April 19 - the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival. Advance tickets are on sale by calling 0870-8505666 or by going online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk with special discounts available.
