Tremendous Leap gets to the front under Wayne Lordan© Photo Healy Racing
After winning the fifth with Speak In Colours Tremendous Leap completed a 54/1 double for Joseph O'Brien in the concluding Sensational Kids Handicap.
Placed on his previous six starts, the son of Shamardal was sent off at 10/1 today under Wayne Lordan for owners Sun Bloodstock
Settled in mid-division, the chestnut gelding was pushed along over two furlongs out and soon came with his challenge.
He was ridden with over a furlong to race, and kept on best in the closing stages to prevail by three parts of a length, with the 11/4 favourite Lethal Power in second.
Chris Hayes was aboard the runner-up for Johnny Murtagh, while O'Brien also saddled the third horse home, and that was Band Of Outlaws who was returned at 9/2.
O'Brien said afterwards: "He was working very well and running well but not winning. He kept getting placed so it's nice to get him to win and it was a nice pot and Wayne gave him a great ride.
"He's been a frustrating horse but hopefully he can go forward from here.
"Obviously the light weight was a big help. We'll go for another handicap and see what happens."
