The final of the Thurles Fresh Milk Tipperary Cup was the feature of the weekend’s action, and 4-1 chance Dannys Zebo made the most of his inside line to claim the €7,000 winner’s prize for John O’Connell and the Exorcists Syndicate.

It was a very quiet weekend around the tracks and even the card at Shelbourne Park lacked what one would call true Saturday quality. But, on a relatively ordinary programme, there were some decent performances, perhaps most notably by the Peter Everard-trained Star Ace.
