NATIVE Lass (11-1) got the verdict after a photo-finish was called following a rare tussle at the end of the Woodrooff Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel.
Rock On Bach was clear for much of the contest but his lead had been eroded by the end of the back straight, with Ian McCarthy appearing confident on Native Lass. Rock On Bach gave everything, though, and once headed by Native Lass, fought tooth and nail, only to go down by a short-head.
