FOR the second year in succession, Roscommon’s biggest flat race went to Joseph O’Brien as the English import Pondus made up for an unlucky defeat at Limerick last month to bag the Listed Lenebane Stakes.

Twelve months ago O’Brien took this race with the 6/4 favourite Downdraft and Pondus also went off at that price after a number of good efforts at listed and Group 3 level.
