Gordon Elliott notched a double in the concluding Dark Horse Wine Bar At Down Royal Flat Race when Last Minute Man made a successful debut.

The fine looking Yeats gelding, carrying the colours of Paul & Clare Rooney came with a late surge inside the final furlong to land the spoils.

The 3/1 shot was pulling away at the line, under Jamie Codd, to record a three-length success.

Last Minute Man is out of Ella Watson (won a hurdle and bumper) and cost €125,000 at the Tattersalls Derby Sale in 2015.

“He’s a lovely horse - a gorgeous horse. We think he’s a real good horse,” said Elliott.

“He’s still a big weak baby and we might not even run him again this season.

“He’s big and just hasn’t been straight-forward. He’ll be a nice horse to go jumping down the line but I’d say we might not see much more of him this season.

“He just found it hard the whole way there but he’ll be a nice horse with a summer’s grass.”
