Wave gives victory salute
Wave showed good speed all the way. She didn't quite get home over 7f here that last day and the drop back in trip suited today.
Gordon grabs the glory
Gordon Lord Byron just can't handle soft ground. At Listowel the last day, he hated the ground, but he still wasn't beaten that far. He should make up into a nice sprinter next year and I'm delighted for his owners, the Cahalans, as they bought him as a foal but he then failed to sell as a yearling. They've had a lot of patience and it has paid off. There's a six furlong handicap in a few weeks time that we'll come back for.
Tryst wins for visitors
Championship leader Murtagh on the double
Eastern Rules was raised 10lbs for his recent win but the handicapper told me that when he gives horses big penalties, that they usually win the next time they run!
O'Briens record doubles
the break did her good (off since July) and she was 7lbs better off on the all-weather than her turf mark, which was important.
Family win for Maddens
McDonogh another to double up
