Fabulous four-timer for Elliott as Tara takes bumper It was a fabulous four-timer for Gordon Elliott at Navan today as Master Of Tara completed the haul in the concluding bumper. All For Joy made a bold bid from the front in the two-miler but was tackled two furlongs from home by the Gigginstown gelding. Lisa O'Neill's mount got on top inside the final furlong and galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a two-and-a-quarter length success. The Kayf Tara gelding had won a point-to-point at Lemonfield last March but was well held on his 'track' debut when sixth in a bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas. The winner returned a 5/2 shot having been 4/1 in the morning. An enquiry was called after Master Of Tara drifted left when launching his challenged and gave the runner-up a slight bump. The result stood after the stewards had a look. "He's a big baby and a horse for next year. I wouldn't imagine that he will do much more this year. He's a nice horse,” said Elliott afterwards.
