Gaudeamus was the highlight of a double for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning when landing the Woodpark & Ballysheehan Studs Stakes at the Curragh on Friday night.
The filly claimed the Listed contest in good style, running out a comfortable two-length winner from The Real Thing.
Manning delivered his charge to lead a furlong-and-a-half out and she stayed on strongly to hold the late challenge of Con Collins' charge.
The pair secured the brace when Galilean produced a smart front-running performance in the concluding N.Conlan & Sons Maiden.
The son of Galileo set a good pace and stretched his field turning for home, keeping on strongly to score by two-and-a-half lengths from odds-on shot Hitchcock (5/6).
Emmet Butterly and Noel Meade teamed up for the first time and the partnership clicked instantly, delivering a double.
Butterly gained the biggest win of his career to date when Telemachus (13/2) ran out an easy winner of the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Derby.
The 17-year-old kicked the gelding into the lead just inside the two furlong marker and he soon pulled clear to beat Masamiyr by five-and-a-half lengths.
The apprentice went on to double up for Meade when 20/1 shot Sativa landed the Silken Thomas Handicap.
The filly also settled matters with authority, leading under two furlongs out and staying on strongly to score by a length-and-a-half from Kleinova.
4/6f Duke Of Marmalade was made to work to justify his short price in the opening Kildare Village EBF Maiden.
The Ballydoyle colt battled well to get the better of Supposition inside the final furlong for a neck victory.
Vintage Year sprang a 25/1 shock in the Kildare Village Handicap when leading inside the final furlong for a cosy success.
The bookies were also cheering home the David Myerscough-trained Lilac Mist in the 1m2f Kildare Village Handicap.
Padraig Beggy gave the 33/1shot an enterprising ride, sending her on turning for home and holding the late challenge of Indalo Bay by half a length.
