Joseph O'Brien completes cross-card treble Trainer Joseph O’Brien completed a cross-card treble today, as his Denim And Diamonds (15/8f) effortlessly landed Limerick’s Follow Limerick On Instagram Maiden, under jockey Ronan Whelan. The daughter of Camelot moved past leader Faire La Nouba (the runner-up) with two furlongs to race, and sprinted clear on rain-softened ground to score by all of 11 lengths, with a further nine lengths to third-placed Step To Somewhere. O’Brien, earlier successful with Uluru at Limerick and Angelo Pio at Down Royal, was represented by Shane Cross, who said “Denim And Diamonds had a few nice runs in Dundalk and progressed well since January. She relished getting her toe in the ground today and while it didn’t look the strongest of races on paper, you’d love the way she quickened in the last furlong. “Her work had also been nice coming into today and Ronnie (Whelan) was very happy. Hopefully she can progress through the year.”
