Donnacha O’Brien and Donagh O’Connor double up at Dundalk

Apprentices Donnacha O’Brien and Donagh O’Connor both recorded doubles in Dundalk last night.

O’Brien triumphed on Pat Shanahan’s Split The Atom in the five-furling handicap and Stone Mountain, from his father Aidan’s Owning team, in the one-mile three-year-old handicap while O’Connor clicked on board Mr Right for his boss Johnny Levins in the Titanbet.co.uk Handicap and the Shane Donohoe-trained Chewy Round Town in the first division of the Big Bad Bob Maiden.

Split The Atom has become something of a course specialist on the polytrack and registered his fourth win at Dundalk, and his first over five furlongs, when landing the opening Bet & Watch At Titanbet.co.uk Handicap over five furlongs, the first leg of O’Brien’s double.
