HORSE RACING: Athenry-born jockey Danny Gilligan rode four winners with a combined price of 189/1 at Monday’s Down Royal meeting. 

All of his mounts were trained by Gordon Elliott who claimed six winners on St Patrick’s Day after also picking up two first places at Wexford. 

Elliott’s prize money haul for the season has now climbed to almost £600,000, despite failing to come home with a winner from last week’s Cheltenham Festival.
