O’Brien's Fairyhouse treble capped by brilliant Yaupon De Replay in Blenheim Stakes

"We’ll have to work out a plan for her," Joseph O'Brien said about Yaupon De Replay, "and we might look at the Breeders Cup for her."

On a memorable day for his Carriganog team, Joseph O’Brien completed a superb treble in Fairyhouse, highlighted by the victory of 20/1 newcomer Yaupon De Replay in the listed Blenheim Stakes, in addition to taking the Listowel feature with Starford.

An American-bred $150,000 filly, in the colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede and ridden by Chris Hayes, Yaupon De Replay came from off the pace and swooped down the outside to deny Chicago Call by a neck, with the winner’s stable-companion Alibah in third.
