Review leopardstown 21st Jul
< Famous Name (4-9 favourite) won the Jockey Club Of Turkey Meld Stakes for the second year in succession to enhance his record at Leopardstown to nine wins from 12 starts.< Jan Vermeer who attempted to make all the running in the Group Three prize, still held pole position when things got serious down the home straight but the Dermot Weld-trained six-year-old always looked in control and prove far too strong when it mattered most.
Pat Smullen's mount pulled away from his rivals nicely to cross the line four and a half lengths clear of Dunboyne Express who kept on well to claim the silver medal ahead of Creekside in third.< Remember Alexander (7-1) clearly relished step up to seven furlongs as she ran out an eye-catching winner of the Korean Racing Authority Tyros Stakes
The Group Three contest looked to be going the way of Parish Hall when Jim Bolger's charge hit the front entering the straight, but Jessica Harrington's filly picked up in taking fashion and had pulled four lengths clear by the time she passed the post.
Aidan O'Brien's 1-2 favourite Tenth Star finished a disappointing third.< Dragon Pulse got the better of Ellell Duke to justify 7-4 favouritism in the opening Glenvale Stud E.B.F. Maiden.
Having dictated matters virtually from the off, the pair kicked clear two furlongs out and did battle up the home straight, with Fran Berry's mount eventually edging in front to record a one-length victory.
Aidan O'Brien got the on scoresheet with Long Live The King who produced a dominant display in the Dublin Horse Show Handicap.
The Galileo colt outstayed his rivals over the 1m6f trip to score by two lengths from King Of Aran
A gutsy display from Adam's Return saw the 9-4 favourite repel the late challenge of Parc Aux Boules and open his account in the Morocco Sorec Handicap by a short-head.
The Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap went to Yellow Rock a 9-1 shot who denied 11-8 favourite Hangar Five with half a length to spare.
