He's certainly a Unanimous winner

Another front-runner delivered at Roscommon in the second race as Unanimous and Joseph O’Brien kept up the gallop all the way to the line.

Hard-working veteran Fit The Cove chased Unanimous home but never looked like reeling the winner in. He was still two lengths in arrears at the line.

This was two in-a-row for the Aidan O’Brien-trained three-year-old who won at odds of 3/1, backed down from 4/1. He was following up on a Leopardstown maiden success over a mile on soft ground on July 19.

He got a five pound rise in the handicap to a mark of 83 before today’s contest.

Fit The Cove was second at 4/1 while Ondeafears the 9/4 favourite, held every chance behind Unanimous, but couldn’t go with the winner. She finished third.

This success moved Joseph O'Brien to 53 winners for the season, three behind Pat Smullen on 56 in the race for the jockeys' title.
