The Aidan O’Brien-trained Sir John Lavery, a very promising third on his debut at the Curragh just a week ago, proved the star of yesterday’s Gowran Park action as he romped to an impressive seven lengths win in the one-mile Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Maiden.

The in foal Oceania Queen, trained by Pat Martin for his mother-in-law Nuala Brennan, captured the €22,500 Vaughanshoes.ie European Breeders Fund Fillies Handicap, feature of last night’s action in Ballinrobe.

Trainer Michael O’Callaghan landed the opening two-year-old maiden in Dundalk last night, not with 13/8 favourite Knoxville Bullet but with the gambled-on debutant Aggression.

Knoxville Bullet looks the banker bet on tonight’s seven-race card in Dundalk.
