Centaur wins Downpatrick's finale

Centaur made it third time lucky in the concluding Molson Coors I.N.H. Bumper at Downpatrick today as the Joseph O'Brien trained four year old scored under jockey Tom Hamilton.

Centaur was bred by the winning trainer's father Aidan O'Brien's Whisperview Trading Ltd, carries the colours of the Joseph O'Brien Racing Club and today beat runner-up Global Society by two and a half lengths.

Hamilton later said "he's a nice horse, is flat bred by Canford Cliffs and had two runs before today and he put his experience to good use today.

"He bounced off the good ground. He travelled around there very easily and he picked up well.

"Joseph (O'Brien) is obviously in the Curragh but he had two good runs earlier and has progressed from run to run."
