Ineffable completes good day for O'Brien's

Aidan O'Brien will officially be credited with a treble at Leopardstown today but in truth his third winner Ineffable in the Spin 1038 Handicap, is in the care of the Champion Trainer's soon-to-be licensed son Joseph O'Brien.

Ineffable was ridden to victory by Joseph's brother Donnacha O'Brien, who was completing a double of his own, having earlier steered Claudio Monteverdi to win the opener.

The win was a real family success as Aidan O'Brien's Whisperview Trading Ltd is credited as the breeder of the gelding who also runs in his wife Ann-Marie O'Brien's colours.

Following the race, Joseph O'Brien stated “he handled the ground well and was fit from running at Dundalk.

“He handles the surface at Dundalk well, and he seems to handle that also; I'd say he will jump hurdles in time."
