Sweet jumping Broadstone gives Gilligan biggest success

BROADSTONE ROAD gave Craughwell, Co Galway, trainer Paul Gilligan his biggest ever success when landing the Dawn Milk Handicap Chase at the concluding stage of a hugely successful Listowel Festival yesterday.

Sweet jumping Broadstone gives Gilligan biggest success

The 16-1 shot produced a fine exhibition of jumping and staying power, after Danny Howard had taken him the front with over a circuit to cover. The winner did get in close to the third last - the second last was omitted - but a quite brilliant leap at the final fence sealed a decisive success.

Said 29 year-old Gilligan: “I have 12 horses and he is my only decent one, I could do with a few more. I would love to take him to Cheltenham in November.”
