Donnacha O’Brien ended his father Aidan’s domination of the Group 3 Japan Racing Association Tyros 2-Y-0 Stakes when Proud And Regal (Gavin Ryan) landed Thursday night’s twin-feature in Leopardstown.
O’Brien Sr had won the last eight renewals of the race and was responsible for 15-8 favourite Age Of Kings. But Ryan Moore’s mount, having held every chance, had to settle for third spot behind Proud And Regal, who made all and stayed on dourly up the straight to beat Hellsing by a length and a quarter.
