Litter siblings Seven Barrows and Daoimean Dubh both delivered sensational performances to win the Derby and Oaks at a packed Powerstown Park.

The €50,000 to the winner Boyle Sports Derby was a fantastic event from start to finish, and it was Seven Barrows (Upper Hand-Laurina) who came out on top in the feature final, beating the well-fancied Ballymac Awil. Trained by Gerry Holian for owners Ray Conroy and Ollie Dunne, the powerful performer did some serious running to land the spoils. Nip and tuck early on, the classy winner powered up the hill to win easily in 12.42. The Ballymac runner stumbled at a vital stage.
