Aloysius Lilius recorded his sixth career win when swooping late under Colin Keane to land the Coast To Curragh Charity Cycle On 26th August Handicap at Tipperary.
The Gregorian gelding, formerly trained by his owner Ger O’Leary before handing over the reins to Darren Bunyan this year, quickened up well between horses inside the final furlong to ultimately score by a cosy length and a half at odds of 12/1.
The 5/4 favourite Cavallo Pazzo took the runner-up spot with Realtin Fantasy a neck further back in third.
O’Leary said, “Colin knows him pretty well. He won on him at Bellewstown on good ground from the front and at Naas coming from behind. He said he’d ride him the Naas way today.
“He just needed the run here last time and he comes right this time of the year.
“I hopped on a train in Heuston at 3pm and got here at 4.30pm. I’m in the Lady Tilbury syndicate as well so it’s been a good day.”
