Gamble goes astray on out of tune Banjo as Bahrain storms home in maiden

THERE was a fair old smell of burning rubber after Alabama Banjo had got beaten in the Tote Placepot Rollover Today Maiden Hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

Taken at evens in the morning, he was a big order on track from 4-6 to 8-15. But his jumping left a bit to be desired, after Barry Geraghty had eased him ahead over the fifth last.

Bahrain Storm was soon in hot pursuit, travelling far better than his rival approaching the home turn.
