Ginsburg gets important win
Bader Ginsburg and Cian MacRedmond

Bader Ginsburg was easy to back in the finale at Down Royal but ran out a convincing winner for trainer Ado McGuinness.
The Elzaam filly doubled in price from 5/1 this morning, going to post a 10/1 shot in the mile-and-a-half handicap.
Cian MacRedmond produced his mount between horses over a furlong out and she stuck on well in the closing stages to post a two-length win over Queen Amanirenas
It was a breakthrough success for the three-year-old who had been sixth when a 50/1 shot at Killarney last time.
McGuinness said: "She stayed on well. She was disappointing two runs back and then ran well last week in Killarney from a bad draw
"Con Kennedy, a local vet, and his wife own her and bred her and we are just loving getting a win for the mare, at least that is my job done now! She has bred a winner.
"She is as game as anything, she might not be speedy but she is all heart.
"The 7lb probably made a difference, Cian was very cool on her because they went very fast and he was a long ways off them starting off but he didn't panic. He got a lovely split down the inner.
"We might even enter her up next week."
