Jessica Harrington and Colm O'Donoghue brought up a Sligo treble in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Connacht Oaks Fillies Handicap with Echo Park (3/1 second favourite).
As he did aboard Rickrack earlier, O'Donoghue brought up the 207/1 hat-trick by soon having Echo Park in a pace-setting role.
O’Donoghue eventually guided home the three-year-old, shedding her maiden tag at the fifth time of asking, by five and a half lengths from Zoffanyia
"She's a lovely filly who has run some nice races during the year. She's strengthened up through the year and even going to the start she felt much stronger," disclosed O'Donoghue.
"Being by Elusive Pimpernel that distance wasn't a problem to her, and Mrs Harrington was expecting her to run a big race."
Alpha Centauri's trainer and jockey triumphed in the opening claimer too, with Dragon Girl
(AM & EM)
