Themis continues dream week for Joseph O'Brien Joseph O’Brien is enjoying a fantastic week at Royal Ascot with five winners already on the board and he kept the ball rolling on the domestic front with Themis landing the McMahons Builders Providers Maiden at Limerick. The daughter of Sottsass made headway to lead over a furlong out and was just pushed out by Joey Sheridan to assert. The 17/2 chance kept on well to beat Blissful Bonita by four and a quarter lengths, with the winner’s stablemate Royal Sapphire another length and a quarter away in third. Sheridan said, “I rode her previously in Gowran and she just took a bit of time to come to hand. It took time to get there but she relished the test over that trip and on that ground. "I was able to bide my time and she kept coming to the line, so there could be more improvement in her." Quotes by Tom Weekes
