Rain God completed a treble for Ballydoyle at Naas this evening when making all for a game success in the mile handicap.
Joseph O'Brien cut out the running on the son of Henrythenavigator and asked his mount to kick for home with two furlongs to run.

The winner was completing a quick double, under a 5lb penalty, having scored under Ana O'Brien at Leopardstown six days ago.
“He loves the fast ground. We'll look for another handicap for him. He probably got an easy enough lead but kept going well,” said Aidan O'Brien.

The O'Briens also landed the two opening juvenile maidens with Oklahoma City and Minorette
