American runner Mineshaft saw off the challenge of Aidan O’Brien’s Hold That Tiger to take the £500,000 (€712,000) Grade One Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday.

MICK KINANE continues in excellent form, and the champion jockey and current championship leader, brought his score for the season to 47 when riding a double on the Aidan O’Brien-trained pair Carpanetto and Tumblebrutus at Naas last night.

CARPANETTO gets the nap to make a successful seasonal debut in the Darley Stallions' Race at Naas this evening.

RUBY WALSH and Michael Hourigan can team up to take the Glantane Handicap Hurdle with Black Church Lad at Cork today. The seven-year-old has only run three times for the Limerick handler and his last two efforts have been promising.

THE improving Gianfanti can land the nap in the six furlongs Fermoy Maiden at Cork this afternoon.
