O'Brien and Browne McMonagle power on at Killarney The winners just keep coming for Joseph O'Brien and champion jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle as they captured the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Race with Venetian Power at Killarney. A 9/2 chance on the back of a promising start at the Curragh behind early Epsom Derby favourite Giant Sequoia, Venetian Power overhauled Jessica Harrington’s front-running Bellewstown winner Full Volume (3/1) at the furlong-pole to score by half a length. Two lengths further back was Aidan O'Brien’s 8/11 favourite South Dakota who had finished fourth in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot on his previous start. Michael Halford said: “He stepped forward well from the first day. We thought he would, his homework suggested that but it’s nice to see it here as well. “He’s a lovely straightforward horse. The race worked out super for him, he got a lovely tow into it and Dylan just came with one run to win rather than getting into a battle with him. “He looks like a horse with a future and should be able to progress again. “The majority of the two-year-olds are taking a run so once they get a run under their belt, they just progress at home naturally then. “It’s not really until you get to the track that you see how much they’ve actually progressed. “That was a lovely race for him, uncomplicated and it went lovely for him.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
