Realt Mor ends three-year drought

Without a win since landing the Grade 1 Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in March 2013, Realt Mor returned to the winner’s enclosure when landing the Sheridan Agri-Contractors Chase in Ballinrobe last night.

The Gordon Elliott-trained eleven-year-old, third at Perth in his most recent start, got the better of Usa by a length, having tracked the leaders before challenging at the second last.

He provided Jack Kennedy with the second leg of a double, for the second successive meeting at the County Mayo track, bringing his seasonal tally to an impressive 34, 11 clear of nearest pursuer Davy Russell in the title-race.
