His father and brother Aidan and Donnacha set the ball rolling on Galway's card this evening with a win for Sovereign Joseph O'Brien is again the headline maker though, with a 65/1 double, brought up by Elleanthus (5/1) in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden.

Niall McCullagh won the feature on Carriganog Racing's Baby Pink but it was young Shane Crosse that took the reins on Elleanthus (backed in from 8s to his staring price).

Owned and bred by O'Brien’s parents, Aidan and Annmarie, Elleanthus led home 50/1 shot Ulookinatmeboy by four and a quarter lengths.

For good measure Joseph O'Brien also had the third home, Syrena (11/4).

 

"She was sixth in a hot maiden at the Curragh on her debut and travelled well in today's race and picked up well when I gave her a squeeze," said Crosse.
