Ruler Of All just got up to beat Organisedconfusion to take the fourth race on the card the Ballyhale Novice Hurdle for Andrew McNamara & Edward O’Grady.

The 5yo son of Sadler’s Wells was travelling best entering the straight and hit the front between the last two flights.

It looked as if he was set for an easy victory approaching the last, however Organisedconfusion battled on gamely to push him all the way to the line and a photo finish was needed to separate them.

Winning trainer Edward O’Grady said afterwards, 'I thought he was beaten from the stands. I don’t know what to do with him or where to go with him now, I will have to discuss it with Mr Barr (owner)'.

'They didn’t go as fast as I thought they would and he may have ambitions of going further’.
