Jockey Shane Foley completed a Ballinrobe double today, when landing the McGrath Limestone Works Handicap on Tero D’Rosa (6/1) for Ross O’Sullivan and the trainer’s own racing syndicate.

Today’s race featured Tuesday’s easy Gowran winner Majestic King a one-time €320,000 purchase and Godolphin-castoff, but having made headway rounding the final bend, failed to peg back Tero D’Rosa, who held on well for a three-parts-of-a-length success.

Foley, earlier successful on Jessica Harrington’s Glamazon reported "I was just about comfortable in my position and he'll probably go a bit further. We nicked a couple of lengths on the bend into the straight and probably just had a better run around than the favourite (runner-up Majestic King).

"He'a grand fun horse and leads some of the two-year-olds and three-year-olds at home. He'll jump a hurdle in time, too."
