51 and a 1/2 to 1 4-timer for A P O’B & J P O’B Much like his dad Aidan, who broke through the 100-winner mark for the campaign today, Joseph O'Brien will soon be achieving that milestone as he moved on to a score of 97 as Ballydoyle completed a four-timer with Victory Song in the concluding Unaccompanied Maiden at the Curragh. Earlier on the mark on Dazzling, Great White Eagle and Say, Joseph O'Brien got 11/10 chance Victory Song to the front three furlongs out and he stayed on well in the final furlong to account for Deep Speed (came home really well) by a length. Cape Glory tumbled in the betting from around 7/1 earlier in the day into 5/2. However he was in trouble from over four furlongs out. To his credit he kept going to be three parts of a length off the principals. "He's a grand big horse. He's back after a break and I was afraid that he might not be ready. "He's got a great pedigree and he stays well," reported O'Brien senior. (GC & EM)
