AFTER striking gold at the Galway Festival the previous evening, Keith Donoghue continued an industrious few days by notching up a double which was achieved on horses with contrasting prices and profiles.

Whereas Donoghue’s first victory came aboard the 7/2 chance Empirion, his second was supplied by Whirling Dervish who sprang a 20/1 surprise in the two-mile maiden hurdle.
