Two ladies dominated day two in Killarney, Maxine O’Sullivan ensuring a day to remember for her family when winning aboard Citizen Al before doubling up in the bumper, aboard the gambled-on Raya Time, and Rachael Blackmore also completing a brace, aboard Icantsay and Benkei.

Colin Keane, now a clear second behind Pat Smullen in the Jockeys Championship race, provided his boss Ger Lyons with a first and last race double on Mint Chai and Chapter Seven in Bellewstown last night.
