Beset a facile winner of Finale Stakes

Joseph O’Brien’s Beset (7/1) routed her 14 rivals in the Guinness 0.0 Finale Stakes at the Curragh.Declan McDonogh’s mount was never far off the pace and led travelling well entering the final quarter-mile before clearing away to beat Royal Entry by seven and a half lengths. O'Brien also had the third-home Snapretend but his 13/8 favourite Starford finished a well-beaten seventh. Dylan Browne McMonagle had arrived from Del Mar, where he recorded a famous victory on the Willie Mullins-trained Ethical Diamond in the Breeders' Cup Turf yesterday, in time to partner Starford but the stewards denied a request that be allowed to replace Wayne Hassett on that horse.
