Out of luck in York this afternoon, Aidan O’Brien had plenty to smile about on home turf, as The United States brought about a treble for him and Joseph, as he took the last at Tipperary, the Follow Tipperary Races On Facebook Race.

The son of Galileo won on his debut at the Curragh last July, but disappointed on his first start as a three-year-old finishing sixth of eight in the 2000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in April, when sent off the 7/4 favourite.

Sent off the even money favourite to get back to winning ways, he made all, asserting inside the final furlong to see off the challenge of the Patrick Prendergast trained Manalapan (13/8) by a length and three parts.

Joseph O'Brien said afterwards: "He is back on good ground which he likes. He won his maiden on good ground and then disappointed at Leopardstown.

"He had a little setback after that and we gave him time.

"He is still very raw and green but he did it nicely."
