Rain God completed a treble for Ballydoyle at Naas this evening when making all for a game success in the mile handicap.
Joseph O'Brien cut out the running on the son of Henrythenavigator and asked his mount to kick for home with two furlongs to run.
He soon skipped a few lengths clear and kept on well in the closing stages as Mordanmijobsworth ran on to get within a length-and-a-quarter at the line.
The winner was completing a quick double, under a 5lb penalty, having scored under Ana O'Brien at Leopardstown six days ago.
“He loves the fast ground. We'll look for another handicap for him. He probably got an easy enough lead but kept going well,” said Aidan O'Brien.
Rain God (opened 2/1 into 15/8) was sent off 5/2 joint favourite with General Brook who could only finish fifth.
The O'Briens also landed the two opening juvenile maidens with Oklahoma City and Minorette
