Wayne Lordan rode another winner at Gowran Park as Salariaq gave him a double for the day.

Tommy Stack's three-year-old filly held a lovely pitch in fourth on the inner and that passage allowed her to move smoothly into a share of the lead passing the two pole with Notnowsam .

The latter was soon hard ridden to try and go on, but it was Salariaq who resolutely galloped home along the rail to win well at 9/4.

She beat Pershing (7/2) into second by two lengths. The 13/8 favourite Tirghra was a neck away in third.

Assistant trainer Fozzy Stack said: “It's grand to win a race with her. The owners have been patient as she's a big mare and has been growing.

“She's quite well-bred as she's out of a Group Three winning daughter of Salsabil. She's a filly that'll improve and we'll probably keep her for next year. Whether she runs again, we'll see, as she wants fast ground.”
