Kalopsia gave Aidan and Sarah O'Brien another bumper winner when landing the last in style at Galway this evening.
The 2/1 favourite hit the front over two furlongs out in the McGettigan's INH Flat Race and soon put matters beyond doubt.
The JP McManus-owned daughter of Flemensfirth powered clear in the closing stages to record a six-and-a-half length victory over Mighty Concorde
The winner has proved a touch disappointing when sent off favourite at Roscommon earlier in the month having been runner-up on her first two starts.
"I'm delighted with that. She wore a hood the last day and while we thought it might help, it seemed to upset her," explained Aidan O'Brien.
"She'll go for a winners' bumper next."
