Trainer Gordon Elliott completed a double at Sligo today as his Pat’s Oscar landed the concluding Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares (Ladies Pro/Am) Bumper under Lisa O’Neill.

The daughter of Oscar battled well in the closing stages for a half length win over Cant Wait and afterwards Elliott, earlier successful with Desoto County stated “she's an honest mare - it wasn't a great race and I fancied her and thought she would run well on the ground.

“She's hard to keep condition on and is light, but that's job done now as she's a winner.

“It's great for Jim Kinsella (owner), who has a few horses with us - it’s nice to get a winner for him and it's also nice for Lisa (O’Neill). She works everyday in the yard and it's great she got her chance as Nina (Carberry) would ride most of them.”
