Double for O'Brien as Waitingfortheday continues winning run

Joseph O'Brien completed an across the card double, as his Waitingfortheday made it four wins in-a-row in the Leopardstown 'Summer Pass' Handicap

Successful over the course and distance in early June, the daughter of Elzaam followed-up at Fairyhouse before completing a hat-trick at Dundalk just last week.

Sent off the 3/1 favourite this evening, she was settled behind the leaders by Donnacha O'Brien, and was third from halfway.

She got a perfect run through on the inner under two furlongs out, and led just over a furlong from home, keeping on well under pressure from there to score comfortably by a length and a quarter. Betsey Trotter (7/2) finished second under Declan McDonogh for Dermot Weld, while Premier League was another half a length back in third.

O'Brien, who was earlier on the mark at Killarney with Meticulous said: "She's a right filly. She started off on 57 and she's improved away with each run.

"If the handicapper isn't too hard on her she might get something again. She's done her job.

"To win four handicaps in Ireland takes a big of doing, there's not too many horses win four in-a-row. In fairness to her she's a right filly and if we got a few more like her we'd be going alright.

"She'll probably go for something in Galway."
