Rion Rubette lands another nice pot for Butler In a remarkably similar finish to their clash over course and distance in April, Rion Rubette (13/2) got up close home to deny 2/1 favourite Greydreambeliever in Gowran Park's featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap over seven furlongs. As she had done in that April race, Joseph O'Brien's grey tried to make all and was brought to the stands' rail in the straight by Dylan Browne McMonagle. The latter never went for his stick as his mount kept on well under hands and heels but Rion Rubette, owned by the Bredwinner Syndicate, had picked up a good head of steam from well back under Paddy Harnett and led in the final stride for a short-head victory. Winning trainer Michael Butler said "She did it lovely. I was a bit worried if she was going to get there, but she ground it out real well and she knew where the line was.  "She seems to really be getting a liking for Gowran. It's not that far away from us, so I'd say that's a big help to her. She's tricky enough when travelling and at the races.  "Hopefully, if she is all right in the morning, she is entered in the Curragh Derby weekend in the fillies' handicap on the Saturday evening - if she's okay, touch wood she goes there."
