Emit (7/4) took the opener on Tipperary's 'Super Sunday' mixed card, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Trained by Joseph O'Brien for Flaxman Stables Ireland Ltd, the son of Too Darn Hot was slotted in behind the pacesetters by Declan McDonogh and soon raced in third. Travelling best from early in the straight, he led a furlong out to beat Serious Contender by two-and-a-half lengths.

"It took him a while to get the message and when he did it was snug at the line," said McDonogh.

“He’s a lovely staying colt and should be a nice one for next year.

“The ground is soft, soft to heavy.”
