Said O’Brien: “It looks as if Joseph (O’Brien) will ride Cristoforo Colombo, Seamus (Heffernan) will be on Mars and Colm (O’Donoghue) on George Vancouver.”

O’Brien was speaking after his Line Drummer had run away with the Fundraising Events At Tipperary Races Handicap. Partnered by Joseph, the Galileo colt came from off the pace to sweep ahead over a furlong down and beat market leader, Caesaria, by five and a half lengths.
