1224/1 Wexford treble for Sean O'Keeffe Sean O'Keeffe rode his third winner of the afternoon at Wexford when the Colin Bowe-trained Morell River (11/2) took the second division of the Jim Ryan Racecourse Services Handicap Hurdle. The daughter of Harzand came from mid-division to lead two out and stayed on well to post a two-length victory over Roccabaker.  O'Keeffe's earlier winners were The Big Clubman (11/2) and Cathryns Ruby (28/1). Assistant trainer Brendan Walsh said: "Peter Maher had a good job done with her and Brendan (Fitzpatrick, owner/breeder along with his wife Mary) sent her down to us. "We've had a few horses for Brendan before and he had a winner here before with a mare called Regal D'argent. We've had a few point-to-point winners for him too, he is a nice man and is lucky "She has a good pedigree and is out of a sister to Mikael D'Haguenet. "It's great to get a win on the board with her and we'll keep her in this company. Hopefully the handicapper will give her a chance.   "She is a grand honest filly. She ran well the first day for us in Downpatrick and ran better than her finishing position suggested the last day there.   "She is learning on the job. She is a slow-maturing mare. She is getting better and sharper and even walking around the ring today, she thought she was a racehorse.   "At home she does things nicely and is not overly quick. I'd say coming back in trip today was probably a help. She just got outpaced the last day in Downpatrick. She was sharper today but I just think over the two-and-a-half miles today, there was a more even gallop throughout.   "She is a grand mare and I wouldn't mind a few more like her. I'd imagine she'll go down the broodmare route some day.  "We had a winner in Tattersalls earlier today and a second at Curraghmore, so it has been a good day." Additional reporting by Donal Murphy
