WEDNESDAY proved a day of mixed fortune for trainer Gordon Elliott at Ayr. He had three winners on the day but was also hit with a £3,000 fine for the schooling in public of one of his horses.

Elliott’s winners were the unbeaten Galvin (30/100 favourite) in the Dream Weddings At Western House Hotel Novices’ Hurdle, ridden by Davy Russell for owner Ronnie Bartlett.
