LAYFAYETTE has proved a tremendous servant to owner Patricia Hunt and the Noel Meade-trained gelding brought his career tally to 11 wins when landing the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Martin Molony Stakes for a second time.

The nine-year-old, who also won this mile and a half listed race back in 2023, travelled sweetly to lead inside the final quarter mile but needed to be driven right out by Adam Caffrey in the closing stages as Chally Chute finished strongly to get within half a length with Uxmal a further three and a half lengths away in third.
