Red-hot Gordon Elliott fires in 34/1 four-timer at Punchestown

Gordon Elliott fired in a four-timer at Punchestown on Saturday to continue the red-hot form of his stable.

Elliott is atop of the Irish trainers' championship with 29 winners coming in the last three weeks, alone.

The Meath man got the ball rolling at Punchestown when €370,000 purchase Absolute Notions got off the mark in the O'Connor Heating Support Longford Maiden Hurdle.

Jack Kennedy had to push all the buttons on the 11/8 favourite but he found plenty for pressure to win by just short of four lengths.

It was an easier task for Kennedy in the next as 8/15 favourite Queens Brook won the Frontline Security Mares Hurdle by six lengths.

Kennedy then made it a treble on the card as he steered the well-backed Jungle Prose (11/4) to win the Conway Piling Handicap Hurdle.

Elliott then saddled a 1-2 in the last race of the day as 13/8 shot Caldwell Potter, in the hands of Jamie Codd, easily got the better of stablemate Cardamon Hill in the Irish Mirror (Pro-Am) INH Flat Race.
