Gutsy Last Hurrah defies top weight

THE LAST HURRAH produced a gutsy performance to defy top weight in the featured Dawn Milk Run Handicap Hurdle at the final stage of a hugely successful Killarney Festival yesterday.

Beautifully handled by Andrew Leigh, the winner travelled sweetly through the contest and was clearly going best between the last two flights, as he raced alongside stable companion, Atelios.

The Last Hurrah just about held the call at the final flight, but had to be hard driven all the way to the line by his competent pilot to hold Cellarmaster by a neck.
