Dermot Weld saddled his ninth winner of the week in the concluding race of the Galway festival when Windsor Park cruised to success in the Fr.Breen Memorial bumper.

Robbie McNamara never had an anxious moment on the 2/9 favourite as he travelled into the lead turning for home.

McNamara didn't have to move a muscle as his mount claimed a four-and-a-quarter-length success over Pack The Punch without breaking a sweat.

The winner was making his first start since landing a Leopardstown bumper in January.

“It's nice to get a winner although it was a bit disappointing not to ride one during the week as I had a few fancied ones,” said McNamara afterwards.

“He was never off the bridle and it was a lovely run back for him. He's a very talented horse and could go back on the Flat.”
