Jacobean and Loved add to good week for O’Brien

While enjoying another successful week in Royal Ascot, Aidan O’Brien doubled-up with Jacobean and Loved, both ridden by Seamus Heffernan, in Limerick last night.

Fourth in last year’s Racing Post Trophy but disappointing since, Jacobean landed the opening Croom House Stud Maiden at the expense off market rival Chenega Bay after the pair dominated from the start.

Still looking a bit awkward in front, the High Chaparral colt kept going well enough to triumph by two lengths, prompting Heffernan to comment: “Some of ours take a run or two and, hopefully, this fellow will step-up to listed or Group 3 class.”
