263/1 Galway treble for O'Brien as Crosse rides 1st double
A night to remember for Shane Crosse as he rode his first double

Race six at Galway saw Joseph O'Brien make it three on the evening at odds of 263/1 as jockey Shane Crosse brought up a brace aboard Song Of The Sky in the Galway Apprentice Handicap. Baby Pink (Niall McCullagh in the feature) and Ellenathus (Shane Crosse) were the previous Carriganog Racing victors as the young Tipperary apprentice completed his first double.
Here he got Song Of The Sky home by three parts of a length from Faughill
"We went a good honest pace the whole way and I let her find her feet out the back. When she came down the hill there was nothing stopping her and she made up a heap of ground for me," said Crosse.
"She's as genuine as they come and that's my first double. I'm 16 and that's 16 wins in total."
