Dermot Weld's cracking form continued as he landed a Gowran Park treble along with his jockey Pat Smullen highlighted by the victory of I'm Yours in the feature Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes.
Running in the familiar Moyglare Stud Farm colours, the filly was sent off the 5-2 favourite for the Listed contest having finished fourth in a Navan race at the same level on her seasonal bow a fortnight ago.
Brought with a smooth run to challenge for the lead two furlongs out, I'm Yours readily went clear under a drive from Smullen & ndash; who went on to a personal four-timer - and beat long-time leader We'll Go Walking by two and a half lengths.
Weld and Smullen doubled up when the Aga Khan's Sereza (6-4) led all the way in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, going clear while travelling best in the straight and scoring eased down by six and a half lengths from favourite Spirited
They made it three when 11-4 joint-favourite Good Tradition came from some way back to get the better of market rival Falkirk by two and a quarter lengths in the Super Sundays Dining & Racing For 22 Euro (C & G) Maiden.
Smullen's other winner came in the Ladies Day June 21st At Gowran Park Handicap on Sheila Lavery's 8-1 shot Gone Viral who hit the front inside the final furlong and forged clear to score by a length and a quarter.
Kevin O'Donnell's 10-1 outsider Sophie's World sprung a surprise in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, coming out best in a fight with long-time leader Kanes Pass to score by a neck under Sean Corby.
The young claimer completed his first double on Seamus Fahey's Fast On (7-1) in the Ladies Day June 21st At Gowran Park Handicap.
Michael O'Callaghan's Queen Of Power (4-9 favourite) ran fifth in the Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial and she was much too good for her rivals in the Follow Us On Facebook Maiden, leading all the way under Fergal Lynch and stretching four and three-quarter lengths clear.
