Sean Corby rode his second winner for his boss Joseph O'Brien when Thomas O'Malley came out on top in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Apprentice Claiming Race.

The Annus Mirabilis Syndicate owned 7/1 shot got the better of Lleyton (33/1) by a length and a half with a length and a quarter back to New Story in third. 

"Joseph told me to be good and handy on him and he travelled nicely turning into the straight," said Corby.

"I probably could have done with something coming with me as I was there on my own soon enough.

"There is a good old headwind but he stuck at it well in fairness. He showed a good attitude and the blinkers probably keep him straight and keep him concentrated.

"His last run over hurdles at Thurles was good and he's a versatile fun horse."

Jimmy Finn claimed Thomas O'Malley and Lleyton afterwards.

G.P. Brouder, rider of Voluptueux (FR) trained by Kevin McDonagh, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung left throughout.
