Third time lucky for Triangle

Green Triangle made no mistake at the third time of asking when justifying his short price in fine style in the opening auction series maiden at Roscommon this afternoon.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt went to post an 8/15 shot having been placed on his previous two starts.

Dylan Browne McMonagle settled his mount behind the leaders and he received a bump after about three furlongs sending him wide on the bend.

It was plain sailing in the straight through as he lead a furlong-and-a-half from home, and despite drifting on to the rail passing the furlong marker he soon opened up to score by four-and-a-quarter lengths.

Stable representative Sean Corby said afterwards:- “He did it well. He's had two pretty decent runs before and looked to win quite well today.

“Dylan said turning out of the back the one on his inside didn't really turn that well and it just shot him a bit wide but from there on everything went pretty smooth and he travelled well in the straight and picked up well.

“Hopefully he can keep progressing from here, it's good to see him win.”
