Johnny Feane sent three horses to Musselburgh this afternoon and two of them were successful while the other was third.

Six Silver Lane was his first representative and he got up close home to land the Blackrock Handicap under David Nolan.

The son of Aussie Rules was a good fifth to Bribe The Bouncer on his last start at Galway and he was sent off a 6/1 chance today.

Having chased the leaders throughout he was ridden over three furlongs from home. He was switched right inside the final furlong and kept on best in the closing stages, getting up to win by a short head.

Feane had Camakasi (9/1) in the Kettle Produce Ltd Handicap and this son of Camacho had no luck in running as he finished a never near third under Fergal Lynch.

Ying Yang completed the brace for Feane in the Partnership Challenge Handicap.

In rear early on under Paul Mulrennan the daughter of Thewayyouare took closer order from over two furlongs out and was switched to the outer a furlong and a half from home.

She hit the front with half a furlong to race and was pushed out from there to come home a comfortable two and quarter length winner at the odds of 8/1.

Feane who sent out his first runner in January of 2014 recorded his first double at Dundalk on April 24th earlier this year.
