Ewing & Elliott double up in Killarney feature Sam Ewing completed a double for Gordon Elliott when landing the featured BoyleSports An Riocht Steeplechase (Grade 3) on all the way winner Ash Tree Meadow (4/1). The Alymer Stud's eight-year-old, who enjoyed his finest hour in last summer's Galway Plate, jumped well and scored readily by five and a half lengths from French Dynamite with odds-on favourite Gentleman Du Mee found wanting for stamina back in third. "It took me four years to ride a winner here and now I've ridden two today!," said Ewing. "He did it very well, travelled well and jumped brilliant. Two-miles was too sharp for him the last day but went well on that ground today and his jumping was exceptional and he takes lengths everywhere. "I was happy to drive on on him and I had plenty left from a long way out. He is a good horse and it is nice to win on him. "I'm sure they'll have some plan for him." Quotes from Thomas Weekes
