Bookies clean up with Flash

THE John Oxx-trained Flash McGahon sprang a 20-1 shock in the Listed Danehill Dancer Stakes at Tipperary last night, as hot-pot Drayton trailed in a well beaten fifth.

Drayton was dropped in class and confidently backed from 4-5 to 4-6. But it was probably a case of going to the well too often and, after running prominently, he faded from the furlong pole.

In contrast, the eventual winner was full of running at this stage, as Fran Berry drove him for home.
