The Henry De Bromhead trained, Gigginstown House Stud owned Attribution (9/2) upset odds-on shot Ballyoisin at Limerick today, landing the feature race on the card, the Limerick GAA Chase.
Keen-going Ballyoisin, a 4/9 favourite following his win at Killarney on Tuesday, made most of the running but was headed before the second last fence and in the end Attribution scored a three and a quarter lengths win.
De Bromhead, whose Stars Over The Sea was first-past-the-post in the controversial voided race at Killarney on Thursday, wasn’t present but Slevin later commented “he (Attribution) is game, tough and honest and he jumps. He had loads left but got lairy in front and it’s great to get the win.
“At the top of the hill, he (Ballyoisin) was in trouble as he went very quick and won four days ago and that might have taken its toll on him, as he is a very very good horse. My lad is no slouch either and was only 5lbs wrong at the weights.”
