Two from two for Raymonda
Raymonda and Pat Smullen wins from Cool Thunder

The Raise Funds For Your Club Or Charity @ Fairyhouse Fillies Race saw Raymonda make it two wins from two runs when getting the job done nicely in the seven furlong heat.
A US-bred daughter of Lonhro, the Khalid Abdullah-owned and Dermot Weld-trained three-year-old went off at odds of 11/10 second favourite (from 11/8) to beat three rivals.
Even money market-leader Cool Thunder gave her most to do, but the Pat Smullen-ridden winner added to her Curragh gains from 239 days back by two and a quarter lengths.
Raymonda passed the front-running Gift Wrap over two furlongs out, and then saw off Cool Thunder from under a furlong out.
Representing his father, Kris Weld said: "She looked useful on her only start at two, and has confirmed that today. We'll look for some black-type with her, and all the family are adaptable from seven furlongs up to nine furlongs.
"Fairyhouse have done a great job with the ground. It is probably more good than good to firm which is a credit to them when you consider the weather we have had."
