No stopping Borice as Gordon Elliott lands third Galway Plate in four years

For the third time in four years, Gordon Elliott saddled the winner of the thetote.com Galway Plate. After Donagh Meyler and Lord Scoundrel in 2016 and Mark Enright and Clarcam 12 months ago, this time it was Luke Dempsey in the saddle, winning aboard Borice.

Carrying the famous two-tone green colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, the son of Network was towards the head of the market for some time but with drying ground not ideal for the eight-year-old, he took a late drift out to 9-1.
