Russell makes it on Taipan

DAVY RUSSELL rode a whirlwind finish to get Made In Taipan up on the line in the M D O’Shea and Sons Hurdle at Killarney, on a night when there were a huge number of non-runners due to the fast ground.

Tom Mullins’ charge had run here on Sunday, finishing fifth of five in the chase won by Psycho.

But, none the worst for that, he stripped in good shape, although looking less than a possibility approaching the home turn.
