McNamara and Elliott share the honours in Limerick

In-form local trainer Eric McNamara and Gordon Elliott shared the training honours in Limerick last night.

McNamara brought his tally to four winners in a fortnight thanks to the victories of Italian Riviera in the irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap Hurdle and Irish Bulletin in the McMahon’s Munster Mile (Amateur) Handicap Hurdle.

“He’s not the most genuine horse in the world and has been disappointing,” said McNamara after Italian Riviera’s win, adding: “We had to be patient with him. And he’ll go chasing sooner rather than later.”
