Colin Keane extended his lead in the jockeys' title race with a treble at Naas on Sunday.
All three winners came on Ger Lyons-trained runners, including when edging out title rival Pat Smullen as Elegant Pose won a thrilling renewal of the Clodovil Irish EBF Garnet Stakes.
Smullen looked set to strike when hitting the front on board Making Light approaching the furlong marker and kicking clear on Dermot Weld's inmate.
However, the Ger Lyons-trained 9-4 favourite took off late on and got up right on the line to take the Listed contest by a short head.

The 9-2 chance travelled smoothly from the rear to take it up from pacesetter Damselfly inside the final furlong and kept on well to hold the fast-finishing Guessthebill by a neck.
Lyons and Keane brought up the three-timer in the www.naasracecourse.com Handicap with Mustajeer (11-4fav), who proved three-and-a-quarter lengths too good for the Smullen-ridden Espoir D'Soleil.
Weld and Smullen did taste victory when Yulong Gold Fairy ran out a very impressive winner of the Foran Equine Irish EBF Auction Race Final.
The Galway maiden winner stormed past Quizical a furlong from home and kept up the gallop to justify 9-4 favouritism in the valuable contest by six lengths.
The closing Anjaal Irish EBF Bluebell Stakes proved a real slog and it was Red Stars that came out on top.< Tilly's Chilli set the pace in the Listed finale for most of the way but was worn down in the closing stages by Jim Bolger's runner who recorded a half-length verdict.< Nibiru made a winning debut in the opening Tifrums Irish EBF (C & G) Maiden as Tony Martin's colt powered home down the outside to deny Castletownshend by a head at 20-1.
Aidan O'Brien's Dramtically left her debut form well behind when staying on for a convincing two-and-a-quarter-length success over Betsey Trotter in the Rathasker Stud Irish EBF Fillies Maiden.
