Trainer Michael Mulvany is finishing the season in great form and Ribee 6/1 winner of the KONE Handicap at Galway, is certainly playing his part as this was his third victory in the month of October.

Gary Carroll tracked the leaders on the progressive three-year-old and sent him on entering the straight. The Ribchester gelding kept on well to beat San Aer who was seeking his third win in this one-mile handicap, by half a length. 

Owned by the Lee Regan Partnership, Ribee's previous wins had come at Bellewstown and Gowran Park.  

Mulvany commented: "He is a fine big, strong horse who loves those conditions. He is a good horse and I had a lot of faith in him, so he is now proving himself. 

"He's gone now for the year and we might have a look at the Lincoln next March, as he would be ideally suited by soft ground conditions.

"His owners have a yearling half-brother going to the sales next month so these wins won't do that horse any harm."
