Denis O'Regan certainly got his just desserts when guiding Lasoscar to success in the McSweeney Arms Hotel Handicap Hurdle at Killarney.

Thirty five minutes earlier in the preceding novice hurdle O'Regan was on terms with every chance when getting a heavy fall off Wonderoftheworld at the final hurdle.

On Liam Cusack's Lasoscar O'Regan was typically patient and in the end the ten-year-old Oscar gelding defeated the staying on Mine Now by three parts of a length.

"We were hoping he'd get prize-money from a light weight and he had a good run at Sligo the last day. He got caught once or twice then but finished off very well and probably the further distance today stood to him," said Cusack.

"He's very game and it was a nice pot to win today and he'll probably go over fences now."

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer reported to the Stewards that Kennedys Mor trained by Gavin Cromwell had blood on both nostrils post race as a result of exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage.

P. Townend, rider of Abolitionist trained by Miss Ellmarie Holden, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was reluctant to line up and did not get a clear run.

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Abolitionist, trained by Miss Ellmarie Holden, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Showem Silver trained by Noel Meade, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.
