Roman gold for gordon

Gordon Elliott moved on to the 53-winner mark for the season when Roman Gold took the Cashel Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel today as the Longwood-based handler maintained his good strike rate with Gigginstown ammunition.

Roman Gold was 11/8 joint-favourite and won comfortable for jockey Bryan Cooper who had an easy six lengths to spare at the post.

Yesterday at Dundalk, Trim jockey Colin Keane continued his winning run when partnering Hatch Hall to victory a handicap for Skerries trainer Karl Thornton and owner Gary Ryan who is also from north Dublin.
