GER Lyons and Colin Keane recorded a double on the opening day of Irish Derby weekend on Friday. Quadruple, owned by the latter’s new retainers Juddmonte, won the featured JJ Mahon & Sons Handicap over seven furlongs.

Sent off 12/1, the four-year-old led for most of the race, and kept on well to score by two and three-quarter lengths from Exquisite Acclaim who was no match for the winner in the closing stages.
