Joseph O'Brien had a strong hand in the concluding Knockcroghery (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Roscommon. Ballinrobe third placer Border Control (4th in the end) headed the betting under Patrick Mullins, but it was the Jamie Codd ridden Champagne Paddy that grabbed the major spoils.
Owned by Pat Tennyson, well-known in hurling circles with his brother John, the Doyen gelding was settled in mid-division, and he made progress into third two furlongs out.
Ridden to lead a furlong and a half out, Champagne Paddy kept on well in the final furlong to register a three and a quarter length win over Scheu Time
A big mover in the market at early prices, Youghal By The Sea could manage no better than fifth place in the end.
Codd remarked afterwards: "Joseph said to me he was a lovely horse but a little bit weak.
"He rolled around a bit early but to be fair he did all his best work at the finish. He's a nice horse."
The Stewards fined J.A. Nash, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Scheu Time, in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91. The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
