Limerick double for Coakley

It's unusual enough at 47 to 65 level, to see a strong 11/8 favourite, but House Limit justified his price to credit rider Ross Coakley with a double at Limerick.

Mind you it was only just that Coakley added to his earlier gains with Annie Irish getting the game House Limit back in front by a head from Meadowlands

"That was great as he had been beaten heads and short heads and could have two or three won at this stage (of the year) with better luck," stated successful handler John Larkin.

"I'm delighted for Eugene (Kavanagh, owner) as he has been a fantastic supporter of mine."
