O'Briens double up with Pedisnap

Pedisnap made it a double on the card for Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien when running out a game winner of the second division of the seven-furlong handicap at Gowran.

The Footstepsinthesand filly had to overcome traffic problems a furlong from home but ran on well in the closing stages to get her head in front near the finish.

She had three-parts-of-a-length to spare with a bunch finish behind her. Althib took the runner-up spot with A Likely Story and Cracking Name dead-heating for third.

The 4/1 winner had been third on her first outing for O'Brien at Killarney a fortnight ago.

“She had a nice run the last day and I thought she'd come forward and that'd she go fairly close so it's nice she won,” said the winning trainer.

“I won on her mum in Wexford one day. That's her second run for us so it's grand and she'll go for another 65 somewhere.

“She's a grand filly and it's nice to get her to win. John (Farrell) bred her and he'll probably breed off her as well. To have those fillies winners is a big help.”
