Elliott is king at Thurles

Gordon Elliott keeps turning out the winners and added another at Thurles today when Roi Du Mee was a comfortable winner of the John Meagher Memorial Chase. Elliott's charge was 9/10 favourite to follow up a recent Punchestown success and did so easily for Davy Russell in the five-runner race in which only three finished. Russell went to the front going to the fourth last fence and won by 11 lenghts.
