There was a third Cork winner for Aidan O'Brien, and a second for his son Donnacha when Victory Salute came out on top in the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurance Maiden.
The O'Briens teamed up to land the opener on the card with Mohawk whilst it was Seamie Heffernan that was in the plate when the stable's Flattering did the needful in the Group 3 Munster Oaks. Legal Spin ran a lovely race on debut for Willie Mullins, but he couldn't match Victory Salute who prevailed by two and three parts of a length.
The gambled-on Dawn Trouper (9/2 into 9/4) finished a neck further back in third.
"He'd a good run the last day. He's not the most straight forward, and he can hang a bit, but he has plenty of ability," said Donnacha O'Brien.
"He wasn't doing a stroke in front and when Kevin (Manning on Dawn Trouper) came upsides me he quickened up well. I'd say he'll go back up in trip and maybe take a lead off him."
