THERE was excellent prize-money throughout the afternoon at the Lancashire venue and Jedd O’Keeffe’s Sam Spinner netted his owners, Caron and Paul Chapman, nearly £57,000 when making all in the Betfair Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle.

O’Keeffe, based in Yorkshire, is better-known as a canny trainer of flat handicappers but has a talented individual on his hands in a very different sphere.
