Myztique lands notable career milestone for Gordon Elliott at Fairyhouse

Trainer Gordon Elliott reached a notable milestone in his career — his first century of winners in a National Hunt season — when the Nina Carberry-ridden debutante Myztique landed the mares bumper on Student Day in Fairyhouse yesterday.

Having saddled a couple of beaten odds-on favourites earlier, Elliott savoured the success, quipping: “I know Willie (Mullins) does it every year, but it’s nice to get the hundred. — we have a good bunch of horses and good staff.

“The two Grade 1 winners (Don Cossack and Clarcam) would have to be the highlights but, hopefully, the highlight is still ahead of us.”
