Aidan O’Brien continues good run of form in Dundalk

Aidan O’Brien and Seamus Heffernan continued in sparkling early-season form when sharing a double with 5/6 favourites Housesofparliament and Long Island Sound in Dundalk last night.

Runner-up to stable-companion Bhutan on his seasonal debut, in soft ground, at Leopardstown, Housesofparliament quickened well, despite showing signs of inexperience, for a convincing five lengths win over Flying Bullet in the 188BET Maiden, clearly appreciating the quicker polytrack surface.

“He had a lovely run at Leopardstown, where he got tired in the ground, and came forward nicely,” explained Heffernan.
