O'Briens record doubles

Champion Apprentice Jockey Joseph O’Brien combined with his father Aidan O’Brien, himself Champion Trainer, to complete a double at Dundalk this evening when steering Flavia Tatiana to win the Christmas Parties At Dundalk Handicap (div 1).

The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor travelled well into the straight before eventually battling off the challenge of Elizabeth Coffee

O’Brien Jnr later said “the break did her good (off since July) and she was 7lbs better off on the all-weather than her turf mark, which was important.”
