Joseph O’Brien enjoyed a timely pre-Royal Ascot boost when registering a sparkling 39/1 treble with Zoinnocent, Night Of Romance and Gear Up, all partnered by different jockeys, in Gowran Park yesterday.

Formerly trained by Karl Burke in England, Night Of Romance landed the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap in convincing style under Dylan Browne McMonagle, proving two lengths too strong for Pretty Rebel.
