Burgess to star in Guinness decider

THE 48th Annual Guinness Trophy comes to a conclusion at Curraheen Park tonight and the draw dictates that Burgess Star can land the spoils for Sheila Spillane and JJ Fennelly.

The thoroughly consistent tracker loves the inside line and, after three rounds in which he was drawn a touch too far out, he finally gets the chance to wear his favoured red jacket.

The half-brother to English Derby champ Taylors Sky has been drawn on the fence just nine times in his career, but he’s won on a remarkable seven of those occasions.
