To no one’s surprise, the meeting belonged to trainer Willie Mullins, and with Dinoblue adding to State Man and Final Demand’s victories, he completed a treble on the day to bring his tally for the meeting to date to 12.

For owner JP McManus, it has also been a great meeting, and Dinoblue’s victory in the Grade Two Hanlon Concrete Irish EBF Glencarraig Lady Francis Flood Mares’ Chase was his second of the day and eighth of the meeting.
