Tipperary treble for season's leading jockey Rachael Blackmore from Killenaule

It was certainly Rachael Blackmore’s weekend and the season’s leading jockey kicked off with success on the Henry De Bromhead-trained Due Reward in the 2m handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan on Friday evening.

The 13/8 favourite raced to the front after the penultimate flight to beat Konig Hall in good style.

And better was to come for the Killenaule jockey who landed three winners at Tipperary on Sunday, a treble she shared with Henry De Bromhead.

She won the second division of the beginners’ chase Theatre Dreams which won easily at odds of 10/1 and followed up on Monbeg Chit Chat in the 2m4f handicap chase at odds of 9/4 favourite.

The treble was completed when Classic Theatre won the rated novice chase, the 5/4 favourite battling well to win by a head in a thriller. The wins see Blackmore on the 26-winner mark, eight clear of both Danny Mullins and Paul Townend.

Fresh from his double Group 1 success over the weekend, Aidan O'Brien landed an early winner at Killarney on Monday evening. With his son Donnacha doing the steering, 11/4 chance El Greco made all the running to win the Ladbrokes Irish EBF Race by a head from the Gordon Elliott-trained Mattymolls Gaga.

The Stack family love nothing better than to have a winner in County Kerry and Fozzy teamed up with Chris Hayes to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Killarney on Tuesday evening.

The father and son team of Andy and Andrew Slattery were among the winners at Fairyhouse on Wednesday when 7/4 joint-favourite Sharjah won the 12f handicap, a fourth winner of the season for the young apprentice.

The opening mares’ maiden hurdle at Killarney on Thursday went the way of 14/1 chance Jazz Mine which is trained in Clonmel by John Lonergan. The winner was ridden by Eamonn Corbett for owner/breeder John O’Mahony.

There was plenty of overseas success at the Curragh with the Darley Irish Oaks going for export once again. Brilliantly ridden by James Doyle, Sea Of Class won for trainer William Haggas, the 11/4 shot coming from off the pace to deny Epsom heroine Forever Together by a neck.

The Tote Scurry Handicap went to David O’Meara’s Intisaab which was ridden by Daniel Thudhope and the North Yorkshire trainer doubled up when the Doyle-ridden Larchmont Lad won the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes. Doyle was also in the saddle as the Mark Johnston-trained Marie’s Diamond won the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes on his second visit to the course this year.

Out of luck in the Darley Irish Oaks on Saturday, Aidan O'Brien enjoyed better fortune the following afternoon when Magical, ridden by Ryan Moore, won the Group 2 Kilboy Estate Stakes. The 5/4 favourite made all the running and easily held I’m So Fancy. The Yorkshire Oaks is now a possibility for the winner. O’Brien and Moore doubled up with another 5/4 favourite, Cliffs Of Dooneen in the 2m handicap.
