Thyne completes Russell treble Davy Russell completed a 239/1 treble when Meadows Thyne landed the Thomastown Handicap Hurdle at Gowran. The Tony Martin-trained gelding came with a strong challenge at the last and found more on the run-in to score by a length from Caffeine Craze. "He's been plagued with injuries all his life," revealed Martin afterwards. "He's had a wind op so couldn't operate on heavy ground during the winter even though he likes it. "Touch wood we can have a bit of fun with him now. We've waited all year with him." Russell was winning his third race in a row having also struck aboard Playboy Luke and Instinctive.
