Joseph O'Brien notched up win number 120 of a record breaking year for the Champion Jockey elect when taking the opening Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden at The Curragh today on Dance With Another trained by his father Aidan O'Brien.

By Danehill Dancer and out of triple Classic placed Quarter Moon, Dance With Another raced prominently throughout and stayed on well inside the final furlong to comfortably defeat Achnaha

The mile event was the first of five maiden races at the venue for its closing fixture of the year and afterwards O'Brien Senior stated “she (Dance With Another) is progressing with her runs and has been coming on. When she got to the front she just veered around a bit though and Joseph said she probably wants to get there later; her dam was a bit like that also.

“She probably won't run again this year but we'll start her off early next year. She'll stay well and should handle a dig in the ground.”

My Racing Story. Don Browne

I was born and bred in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork and my father had point-to-pointers. He never trained, but he had horses in training. A thing I always wanted to do was train my own horse. I was about 21 before I sat on a racehorse. My father had a point-to-pointer and said to me to crack on and take a chance training him. I then bought a horse with my brother and trained it. She stayed racing, but was never much good. Cloneen Princess was my first winner in the millennium year at Carrigtwohill. She was a point-to-point winner for my father. I bought Cloneen Storm and he won for me as a five-year-old and a six-year-old. That fella won four point-to-points. After him, the licence went. I had another horse for my father, Cloneen Choice, and I took out the licence for him. He won three point-to-points and he came third in a hunters chase in Killarney in 2017.
