Just as he did in 2025, Aidan O'Brien sent out six winners at Leopardstown's all-juvenile card and his final winner was City Of Gold in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Nursery over seven furlongs.

Also a sixth winner of the afternoon for the Coolmore partners and jockey Wayne Lordan, whose previous best had been a four-timer at this course, the blinkered topweight soon raced in second and was driven to the front a furlong out,

Soon headed by Admire Beauty, Lordan's mount battled back to score by a head with Snapequus flashing home on the stands' rail for third, just a neck further away.

"It's a magnificent day. For Wayne to get six winners, and six winners for the stable, is incredible,” said Chris Armstrong, stable representative for winning trainer Aidan O'Brien.

“We were lucky at this meeting last year, we had six as well. The horses are in form, they are running well. We had some lovely winners today with the maidens and the ones in the group races. It's a day to savour.

“Minnie Hauk topped it off in Ascot. Across the two tracks, it's been a stellar day.

“We thought off 91 this horse might be harshly enough treated, but it was worth giving him a go. In fairness, when Wayne needed him in the finish, he really dug down and got stuck into it."
