Phil wins Kinloch Brae for dominant Gigginstown and Elliott Winner number three of the afternoon at Thurles for Gigginstown House Stud and Gordon Elliott arrived in the Grade 3 Horse & Jockey Hotel Kinloch Brae Chase courtesy of A Toi Phil. For successful jockey Jack Kennedy it was a case of double up. Connections struck earlier with Pete So High (Kennedy) in the opener, and Dortmund Park (Davy Russell) in race two. Here favourite American Tom tried to put it up to his rivals from the front in the two and a half miler. Kennedy sent A Toi Phil about his business on the inner three out with American Tom edging out to his left. From the next there was only going to be one winner and the gap between the principals at the line was nine and a half lengths. "In his own grade he is brilliant and won't let you down and Jack (Kennedy) gave him a great ride again today," said Elliott. "It's been a good day." (TW & EM)
