ROSS O’Sullivan sent out his second winner of the weekend at Listowel when Dutch Glory (11/2) landed the first division of the James Collins Memorial Handicap at the Kerry course on Sunday.

Siobhan Rutledge’s mount had only a few rivals behind approaching the straight but made good headway on the outer to lead over a furlong out and went away to beat Sunset Nova by two and a quarter lengths.

O’Sullivan, on the mark with Warrior Brave the previous day, said: “Around here you have to be some way ‘handy’ as it is very hard to come from behind but she blew the start. It wasn’t the plan but Plan B worked out great and she is owned by my head man Tom Harney who is going out with Siobhan so it is kept in the family.

“She wears ear plugs, can be tense and lives outside at home and doesn’t like much fussing or any hassle.”

Not Just Yet (12/1) got off the mark on his sixth career start when winning the Croom House Stud Handicap for Noel Meade and owner Martin McHale.

The son of Night Of Thunder was twice placed as a juvenile and improved on his April reappearance run when beating runner-up The Snapper by a half-length.

Jockey Adam Caffrey commented: “All his form was on slow or soft ground so we thought the ground might be too quick. Hopefully now he can step forward having proven himself on that ground.”

Rush Queen (15/2) landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden under Ben Coen.

Favourite Ashwiyaa was clear a furlong out and touched 1.03 in-running but drifted right in the closing stages, presenting Rush Queen with her chance and she eventually scored by a neck.

Winning trainerAdo McGuinness said: “The other horse wandered but she stuck her head down and galloped to the line. People used to say I couldn’t train juveniles but I’ve ran two this year and both have now won. It’s great for this new Shamrock Thoroughbreds syndicate which Stephen Thorne set up.”

THREE times runner-up and twice third from six previous starts, Sweetest Rose (13/8f) wasn’t winning out of turn when providing Gary Carroll with the first leg of a double in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden.

Carroll kept things simple as the daughter of Dark Angel, owned by Mrs Annette O’Callaghan, made all to beat Nelda by three quarters of a length, continuing the revival in fortunes of her trainer Ger Lyons.

“We’re delighted to get the winning mark as it is important for her owners,” assistant trainer Shane Lyons said. “An easy mile or seven furlongs is probably her trip and, while she needs something to help her early doors in her races, we will probably discuss taking the blinkers off and putting cheekpieces on next time.”

Double

Carroll completed his double, and rode his fifth winner of the weekend at Listowel, when Henry de Bromhead’s Narmar (15/8) won the five-runner colts’ and geldings’ maiden over a mile.

Narrowly beaten on his previous outing at Killarney, Anthony Smurfit’s homebred son of Invincible Spirit hit the front over a furlong out and kept on well to account for Livio Milo by a length and a half.

Carroll commented: “We were trapping along and I was in top gear early in the race. Henry said he is a real galloper and the good pace really suited him. He wants all of the mile on nice ground when they go a gallop. He parked when he got to the front so cheekpieces might help him.”

You would imagine Galway beckons for All In Peder (13/2) who followed up a win at Gowran Park when landing the Lane Family Memorial Handicap over two miles. Off bottom weight, the winner tracked the leaders before taking over in front a furlong out and stayed on well to account for Zileo by a length and a quarter.

The son of Reliable Man is trained by Emmet Mullins for Mrs Annette Mee.

“He is a fine big horse, today’s ground was slightly better than at Gowran and he handled it well,” said Wayne Lordan.

ARCH Enemy sprang a 28/1 surprise in the second division of that one-mile handicap to provide 10lb claimer Sean Bird with his second winner.

The grey filly came from well off the pace to beat Well Suited by half a length in the colours of the Black Steel Square Syndicate.

Cavan trainer Patrick Magee said: “That is unexpected as I thought she’d need the run. I think Sean taking the 10lb off was the winning of it and it was a serious ride for a 10lb claimer.

He added: “I’m based in Shercock. It took four hours yesterday to come down and we stayed over last night. The owner Philip ‘Nixys’ Clarke owns my local bar in Bailieborough and is a big supporter of mine.

Taipan followed up a short-priced success at Killarney last month with an equally emphatic victory in the Acro Fire & Safety (QR) Race.

Sent off the 8/11 favourite in the colours of Fiona Carmichael, the 101-rated gelding took over in front at halfway and was ridden clear in the straight to beat Mon Coeur by five and a half lengths.

Barry O’Neill was the man on board and said: “I had a chat with Shane Foley and he said to go forward on him as he stays really well.

“It was my first time riding a horse by Frankel. He is very straightforward and a child would ride him. It’s great to get the chance to ride for a super trainer like Jessica Harrington and I’m very grateful for the opportunity.”
