TRAINER Henry de Bromhead won Killarney’s two biggest flat races of the year last Friday evening. Andrew Slattery enjoyed a first success for the stable when initiating the brace in the featured Listed Irish EBF Vincent O’Brien Ruby Stakes on Thalara (6/1).

Making most of the running, the filly held on well in the closing stages to score by two and three quarter lengths from Duckadilly (5/1).
