JIM Browne’s Kilnamoragh Stud has been having a good run of form with horses, and he was in the winners’ enclosure at Leopardstown on Sunday after the first race.

The Johnny Feane-trained three-year-old gelding Playin Cool (Belardo), a Browne homebred, was making his third start since the beginning of September, and he has shown improvement with each outing. He got his head in front on this occasion, winning the nine-furlong maiden on heavy ground by a neck, with the favourite Maestro Bernstein (by Wootton Bassett out of Found) back in third. At the time of writing, Playin Cool is still scheduled to be sold as Lot 55 in Monday’s Autumn Horses In Training Sale at Newmarket.
