Immortal Bridge gets back up to beat Magnolia Rose and Successor
© Photo Healy Racing
< Bondi Beach made it two out of two for the season in the Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan, although victory wasn't exactly straightforward.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained 1-9 favourite looked on from the rear as Silwana led Toe The Line who made her move three furlongs out.
Bondi Beach didn't appear to be travelling at that point and took his time to reel Toe The Line in, while hanging slightly too, but his class ultimately told as he registered a workmanlike length-and-a-half triumph in the Group Three.
His stablemate Washington DC bounced back to form as the 13-8 favourite in the Listed Coolmore Stud Power Stakes.
Last season's Windsor Castle winner and Phoenix Stakes runner-up flopped on rain-affected going when sent to Ascot last month but was much more at home on this quick surface, showing a sharp turn of foot to hit the front just after the two-furlong pole, before crossing the line a cosy two and a quarter lengths ahead of Diamond Fields
O'Brien completed a treble when Immortal Bridge (6-1) rallied to claim the Excelebration Maiden.< Ardhoomey (9-4 favourite) maintained his progressive profile in the navanracecourse.ie Handicap.
The four-year-old doesn't have many miles on the clock for one his age and accelerated well to lead close home before holding off the unlucky-in-running In Salutem by a neck.< Callender was third and second on his first couple of appearances and maintained that progression by breaking through as the 5-2 joint-favourite in the Requinto EBF Maiden.< Laganore the 7-2 favourite, laughed at the opposition in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, storming four lengths clear of Ringside Humour without Kieren Fallon having to get remotely serious.< Hint Of Frost (9-2 favourite) carried on Jessica Harrington's brilliant run of form in the Follow Navan On Facebook Handicap, while well-backed favourite Lustrous Light had to settle for third behind New Classicism (7-1) in the Pour Moi EBF Maiden.
