EMOTIONAL Hedging swooped in the closing stages to claim a nice prize for connections in the Irish EBF Auction Series Race at Roscommon on Tuesday.

The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding went to post a 15/2 shot in the €27,0000 seven-furlong contest, having been runner-up on debut at Sligo earlier in the month, for owners the Perennial Racing Syndicate.
