Bookies toast Lynch as Revisionist swoops to conquer

LISTOWEL trainer Seamus Lynch was the toast of the bookmakers at Tramore last night, after his Revisionist had beaten hot-pot, El Cerro, in the Tote placepot Races 1 to 6 three-year-old Maiden Hurdle.

El Cerro was the business in the ring, finding 9-10 from a sprinkling of 6-4. Punters could be excused for thinking it was money in the bag when Ruby Walsh drove the favourite clear going to the last.

El Cerro came away from the flight with several lengths in hand, but found little on the run in and 20-1 shot Revisionist finished with a real flourish to get up on the line and win by a short head.
