Killaro Boy dictates matters in Fairyhouse
Killaro Boy and Ger Fox in charge at Fairyhouse

Adrian Murray's Killaro Boy made all and kept up the gallop when delivering in the two and a half mile handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse.
The 12/1 shot appeared to be vulnerable when 7/4 favourite That's A Wrap loomed large three out.
However, Killaro Boy found another gear for Ger Fox when he popped the second last and went away from the pursuers. Edvardo (6/1) finished with a flourish from the last and closed to within a length and three parts of the winner at the line. Theo (5/1 from 9/1 in the morning) got up to deprive That's A Wrap for third place.
This was Killaro Boy's first step into a handicap after winning his point-to-point and running unplaced in three maiden hurdles.
