Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien took both divisions of the McGeough's Bar & Restaurant, Dundalk Handicap at combined odds of 34/1 with War Goddess landing the finale tonight at the Dowdallshill venue.

Half-an-hour on from the win of Tommy Welsh War Goddess headed the betting at 4/1 and she was generous in her response to her rider's urgings to touch off King Christophe by a neck.

Donnacha O'Brien said: "I wasn't really sure which one of Joseph's was best before the race. She ran well the last day although things didn't really go her way. She has a good attitude."

Joseph O'Brien 's other runner, Ruby Gates finished eighth under his sister Ana.

R. Coakley, rider of Carvelas trained by P.J.F. Murphy, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount lost its action in the straight.
