FEW victories will have provided David Christie with as much pleasure as he got out of the success of Eddie’s Miracle (6/1) at Portrush on Sunday.

The visibly emotional Fermanagh handler welcomed the 11-year-old into the winner’s enclosure after he had defeated Bridgets Pet by four lengths in the hands of Barry O’Neill. Ray Nicholas’ charge had not seen competitive action since pulling up at Kirkistown 11 months earlier, having sustained a fractured pelvis during the race.
