Waitingfortheday wins Leopardstown's last Melbourne Cup winning trainer Joseph O'Brien continued his blistering recent spell with a seventh winner in six days as his Waitingfortheday landed the concluding Leopardstown 'Summer Pass' Handicap at Leopardstown today. The daughter of Elzaam didn't get a clear run when finishing seventh at Fairyhouse on May 31 and today, under Seamie Heffernan, quickened up well to lead inside the final furlong. At the line, Waitingfortheday held a neck lead over flying-home Hey Pretty, with the runner-up proving an unlucky loser having met trouble in-running in the home straight, having been drawn wide in 18. Trainer O'Brien wasn't present at the venue where his father Aidan O'Brien and brother Donnacha O'Brien had earlier combined for respective doubles. Quotes from Alan Magee
