Punters left cursing luck after Turks crashes out

PUNTERS were left cursing their luck at Limerick last night after Turks Wood had fallen at the final flight in an incident-packed Holmes O'Malley Sexton Novice Hurdle.

Tony Mullins' gelding was a big gamble in the ring, hardening through all the rates from 11-10 to 8-11.

In front from the second, he held the call rising to the last, a length or more to the good over the hard-ridden Drive On.
