O’Brien makes up for drawing a blank at Ascot with Limerick treble

Having drawn a blank on the fourth day of Royal Ascot in the afternoon, Aidan O’Brien gave punters plenty to enjoy when recording a treble with Kingston Jamaica, Battle Of Saratoga and Demurely in Limerick last night.

Runner-up to Probably on his debut over course and distance a week ago and backed into 1/2, the Galileo colt Kingston Jamaica was ridden prominently by Seamus Heffernan, disputing the lead until asserting off the home turn and beating Horizon Sky by two lengths in the 2-Y-0 Maiden.

Colm O’Donoghue provided the other legs of the Ballydoyle treble, making all to win the later maidens. Seven-race maiden Battle Of Saratoga, officially rated 80, proved two lengths superior to favourite Shamona in the 8th July Beach Party Limerick Maiden.
