On a day when Wayne Hassett clinched the apprentice championship thanks to victory on James J Braddock in the opening two-year-old maiden, Ross O’Sullivan and Donagh O’Connor shared a superb double with Chally Chute and Switch From Diesel as the 2025 Irish Flat season concluded at the Curragh.
A home-bred seven-year-old, an unlucky second in the recent Irish Cesarewitch, Chally Chute (11-8 favourite) gave both trainer and rider the biggest win of their careers when, having travelled strongly, he outpointed The Shunter in the Group 3 Comer Group International Loughbrown Stakes.
