Waitingfortheday made it 15 winners in 14 days for Joseph O'Brien at Fairyhouse this evening, when landing the Summer Family Fun Day July 8th Handicap under new Jockeys' Championship leader and the trainer's brother Donnacha O'Brien.
Trainer O'Brien, himself a dual Champion Jockey, has his horses in fabulous form at present and also won the opening maiden with Cava under Seamie Heffernan. Waitingfortheday was herself successfully following up her own previous win at Leopardstown on June 7, when scoring a half length win over It's All A Joke
The win moves jockey Donnacha O'Brien to the 30 winners mark for the season, one ahead of last year's Champion Jockey Colin Keane at the head of this term's title race.
Following the race the dual-Classic winning jockey stated “she’s a grand little filly. She broke smart, travelled well and is very uncomplicated. She was value for the winning margin the last day and it’s nice to get another win into her.”
