Champion Trainer Aidan O'Brien doubled up at Leopardstown today when supplying his daughter
Ana O'Brien with her third career winner, steering Rain God to win the Bulmers Original Summer Music Night Apprentice Handicap.
O'Brien Jnr, who partnered her first winner on Fairylike at Dundalk on February 15, moved Rain God to lead under two furlongs out before the son of Henrythenavigator stayed on for a three parts of a length win over Little Arrows
O'Brien Snr later stated “the second horse (Little Arrows) was closing him down and he might have got up in another few strides but I'm delighted he won and will go for another handicap next.” Perhaps provided trainer O'Brien with his earlier winner in the juvenile fillies' maiden.
