Ballydoyle inmate Lillie Langtry was an appropriate winner of the feature event at Naas on a day which saw the death of the great Vincent O'Brien.

The County Kildare track held a three-minute silence for the legendary trainer, who passed away at his home in nearby Straffan on Monday morning.

Murtagh had earlier helped Lyons' Leandros (100-30 favourite) to a narrow defeat of Three Rocks in the Bill Whitehead Memorial Race.
