Inois takes advantage of Outlander blunder

The sizable crowd which descended upon Powerstown Park was treated to some real drama in the closing stages of the featured Grade Two Clonmel Oil Chase, won by Alelchi Inois, who proved the first leg of a 25-1 treble for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh.

The 2-1 favourite was held-up in midfield for most of the journey but was switched out to make a move in the home straight.

By this stage, deposed morning favourite Outlander looked to have flown, and was some three clear racing down to the last, at which he took off far too early, put down before the fence, and went crashing out of the race.
