THE feature race was the opener at Bettyville on Wednesday, with As Tears Go By (13/2) leading home a 1-2 for Gordon Elliott in the Wexford Racecourse Rated Hurdle.

Owned by Caren Walsh and Dee L’Estrange and a half-brother to 2021 Mares’ Hurdle winner Black Tears, the five-year-old was sent straight to the front by Corey McGivern.
