There was a third Joseph O'Brien-trained winner on the night at Dundalk when Song Of Love landed the concluding Racing Post Handicap.
All the O'Brien winners were ridden by different jockeys. Donnacha O'Brien was on Remember The Days in the 6.00, whilst it was Connor King that guided Ligeti into first place in the 7.00.
In this 'night-cap' meanwhile, Wayne Lordan led them home on Song Of Love, as little more than a length and three parts separated the first across the line. Song Of Love had the upper hand on runner-up, Duchessofflorence by a neck.
"He's a grand horse and he has been running very consistently all winter," said Lordan.
"He's been running well over a mile-and-a-quarter and a mile-and-a-half so it's nice to get his head in front again.
"He tries. They need to go a gallop for him over a mile-and-a-quarter but he gets the mile-and-a-half really well. He's a real fun horse."
