Island gets up late to land spoils

Shutter Island got up late on to land the most valuable race on Ballinrobe’s card, the E. P. S. Pumps Handicap Hurdle last night.

Charles O’Brien’s charge had scored on his latest outing over timber, and though he struggled on the level after that, he was a 7/2 chance in a wide-open contest.

Lindenhurst took up the running when the pacesetting Erlkonig faded, but a slight mistake at the last gave Shutter Island his chance, and he responded well to Mark Walsh’s urgings to win by half a length.
