Jockey Mark Walsh completed a treble at Limerick today, completing the feat on the Michael McDonagh trained Black Zero who was himself bringing up a treble of his own, in the Woodlands House Hotel Handicap Chase.

Walsh was earlier successful on two J.P. McManus owned winners Irish Bulletin and Gilgamboa but was seen at his most forceful best on Black Zero, which rallied well in from the last to beat Heavenly Brook by a length.

McDonogh later stated "I was worried about running him back so soon following last week's win and he'll have a couple of weeks break now."
