King Of Rome completes treble for Murtagh/O´Brien

King Of Rome rounded off another terrific night for the Ballydoyle team when making light work of his task in the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown.

Aidan O´Brien and Johnny Murtagh combined to land the opening two races on the card with Gluteus Maximus and Rip Van Winkle (now 10/1 from 14/1 with William Hill for 2000G) and King Of Rome had little trouble adding to the tally when scoring easily by two lengths.

Johnny Murtagh is now on the 48 winner mark for the season, one behind championship leader Fran Berry.
