Aidan and Joseph O'Brien doubled their tally in the [email protected] Handicap when Count Of Limonade put up a good performance to score, adding to the earlier Ballydoyle gains with Master
Speaker.
The betting wasn't much help to punters in the four runner affair as David Wachman's Love And Cherish was the one for money, contracting into 4/5 from 6/4 this morning.
In the face of that support, Count Of Limonade went in the opposite direction, from 5/4 in the offices first thing out to a starting price of 2/1.
Champion jockey O'Brien kept things simple from the front on the top-weight and he eventually won going away from Love And Cherish, by two and a half lengths.
Aidan O'Brien summed up things by saying: "I'm delighted with that. Those Dukes (sire Duke Of Marmalade) seem to improve from two to three.
"He won twice last year with good tough performances. The Duke was like that himself – a hardy, tough horse.
"He'll step up to a conditions or a listed race and he wouldn't mind going a mile and a quarter."
Fergal Lynch weighed in 1.9 pounds over-weight on the third placed Eusepio and he received a one day ban as it was his second offence of this nature.(GC & EM)
