Eklim’s late burst decisive

EKLIM came late and fast for Declan McDonogh and Kevin Prendergast to land the McDonogh EBF Handicap before an attendance in excess of 21,000 at Galway last night.

The winner found a tremendous burst of speed in the closing stages, after appearing to have plenty to do off the home turn.

My Lucy Locket made a brave attempt from the front and still held the call heading to the final furlong.
