Laois Trainer Comes Close To Bagging €23,000 Feature Race At Ballinrobe

There was a winner on the card for Ciaran Murphy.

There was success for two midlands trainers during a twilight meeting at Ballinrobe last night. 

First up Mullingar based Ciaran Murphy was back in the winners enclosure with 17/2 shot Coastal World. 

Conor Orr steered his mount to victory in a 2m6f maiden hurdle early on the card. 

Later in the feature race Mountath's Liam Cusack came very close to bagging the €23,600 prize. 

His charge The Dabbler hit the front in the closing stages but was headed close to the line by Thomas Gibney's Agent Boru. 

Again with Conor Orr in the saddle he gave place punters a good shout in finishing second at odds of 10/1. 

Another superb training performance from Cusack.
