Washington DC and King Of Aragon among seven successful favourites

Speedy juvenile Washington DC and King Of Aragon provided Aidan and Joseph O’Brien with a short-priced double on last night’s mixed card in Tipperary where all seven favourites won.

Narrowly beaten on his debut in Dundalk last Friday, Washington DC, a first winner for his sire Zoffany, oozed class as he coasted to an effortless win over Nice And Dandy in the five-furlong Irish Stallion farms 2-Y-0 Maiden.

Joseph never moved a muscle on the 4/9 favourite, cruising past the runner-up with a furlong and a half to race before scoring, hard held, by two and three-quarter lengths.
