Colin Keane reduces Dylan Browne McMonagle's championship advantage to five points through a hat-trick of victories
In the opening race of the weekend, Luna Mia, a filly owned by Eleanora Kennedy, made a triumphant debut in her racing career. The 9-4 favourite in the 6f fillies' maiden, Luna Mia repelled the challenge of Tornado Kiss to claim her first victory.
Trainer Michael O'Callaghan has high hopes for the filly, stating that she has been threatening to win all year, and the key to her success is the ground conditions. O'Callaghan plans to try to get some black type for Luna Mia after her win.
Meanwhile, in the 7f maiden, Colin Keane partnered Madbadanddangerous, a 5-2 shot, to win by a head over Duke Of Cumberland for Noel Meade. Keane's victory marked a significant step towards reducing the gap in the race to be crowned champion Flat jockey in Ireland.
Elsewhere on the card, Ben Coen guided nine winners home in the last 14 days, indicating a fine run of form. Coen added to his tally with victories on Bay Of Supremacy and Iamimmaculate. Bay Of Supremacy, trained by Johnny Murtagh, defeated Final Melody by three-quarters of a length at odds of 11-2, while Iamimmaculate, trained by Daniel McLoughlin, relished the step up to a mile and defeated Ipanema Beach by a length and a quarter.
Iamimmaculate, previously mentioned as being raw, showed a good attitude to win its race, a testament to McLoughlin's training.
Roaring Fire, a 7-4 chance, also made a statement in the colts' and geldings' maiden over the same distance. Roaring Fire blasted three and a quarter lengths clear of Savile Row to secure the victory.
The colt owned by Michael O'Callaghan, previously referred to as The Mayson colt, purchased for £60,000, showed promise as a potentially smart performer.
Aidan O'Brien left with a double after Controlled and Port Ferdinand won the 5f and 7f juvenile maidens respectively. O'Callaghan also trained a 30-1 treble on the card, including a quickfire double.
As the weekend progresses, the Irish racing scene promises more exciting races and potential breakthroughs from promising thoroughbreds, including those previously trained by O'Callaghan and Keane. Keep an eye out for these contenders as they continue to make their mark in the world of horse racing.
