The 20 Years Taxi4Horses Handicap was won by 12/1 chance Saturn Seven who flew home in the final furlong to nab Art Of Unity on the line for a short-head success.
Trained for the Aprilis Partnership by Ken Condon, the daughter of Sioux Nation had plenty of rivals to pass over a furlong out but finished with a flourish under Ronan Whelan to gain her second win of the season.
Whealn remarked: "She always showed plenty early on in the year. Obviously, as the formbook suggested she has got faster the more racing she has had. I think the 5f set up suited her, she loves that ground. She hit the line good. She is very versatile; she can go 6f but I'd say as she progresses, 5f will be a good trip for her.
"It's nice to ride Ken a winner, that's my first winner for him. He is an absolute gentleman to do anything with, so it's nice to repay the faith in me."
