His earlier winner Irish Minister (14/1) mightn't have been expected, but Camile (7/4 favourite) sent many a punter home happy as Joseph O'Brien brought up a Gowran double with the Captain Rio mare in the concluding Goresbridge Breeze Up Sale May 24th & 25th Handicap.
Shane Crosse steered Irish Minister, his 7Ib claim helping to get that Calumet Farm runner home by a short head and a nose in the median auction maiden.
It was O'Brien's brother Donnacha that was aboard Navan scorer Camile, and she followed up that Proudstown Park win, finishing off best to beat Challow by a length and a quarter.
"I thought the handicapper was a bit harsh on her after her win in Navan. She handles that ground which is a big help, and there might be another day in her in that category," stated the winning trainer.
L.F. Roche, rider of Torthai An Ghra trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount never travelled and was eased.
