Dermot Weld's Voleuse De Coeurs (7-4) was a fitting winner of the Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan.
The master of Rosewell enjoyed tremendous success with Vintage Crop and Voleuse De Coeurs looks destined for greater things herself following an impressive Listed success.
The daughter of Teofilo was a well-held second to El Salvador on her Limerick reappearance but reversed the form in style, forcing the Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite to settle for third.
Pat Smullen looked happy throughout and guided the strong-travelling winner to a two-length victory over Missunited < Stubbs stamped himself a classy juvenile to follow with a runaway win the Requinto EBF Maiden.
O'Brien's colt was backed as if defeat was out of the question and delivered on his promising Curragh debut run in no uncertain terms.
Joseph O'Brien started his move two furlongs out and the 4-5 market leader powered home by four and a quarter lengths from Treadstone
The O'Briens doubled up with Plinth in the Excelebration Maiden, who fought off the renewed challenge of Mourani to prevail by half a length.
David Wachman's True Verdict won the opening Come Racing On June 8th Maiden.
Having her second start of the campaign after running well in decent company last term and again on her Curragh comeback, the Danehill Dancer filly was never far off the pace.
Wayne Lordan stole a march on the 2-1 chance soon after the two-pole and she stretched clear to beat Wexford Opera by two and a half lengths, with Acting Talent third.< Theyturnedmedown (10-1) held Six Of Hearts' late lunge to win the navanracecourse.ie Handicap under Leigh Roche, while Joe Doyle guided Charlie Swan's Baine to a 14-1 success in the Dogs For Disabled June 8th Handicap.< Valbucca (11-2) completed a hat-trick for Willie McCreery in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap and the concluding Pour Moi EBF Maiden went to 8-13 favourite Stepwise trained by John Oxx and ridden by Declan McDonogh.
