THE race of the evening also produced the most impressive performance on the card as Mighty Blue dominated the closing stages of the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Vintage Tipple Stakes.

Joseph O’Brien’s charge, who was third in the mares’ novice hurdle at Cheltenham, came here off a respectable sixth in a Cork listed race. Here, this mile-and-three-quarters event demanded much more as the likes of Princess Zoe, Barrington Court and Flor De La Luna all lined up.
