Joseph O’Brien’s Castrogiovanni got off the mark at the seventh attempt at Fairyhouse today when landing the opening Gillian Carey Award Winner Median Auction Maiden under the trainer’s brother Donnacha O’Brien.

The son of Approve was produced to lead over a furlong out and in the end stayed on well for an easy five and a half lengths win over Bronze Age

Afterwards Donnacha O’Brien said “he handles the ground and drawn one was a big help. I got a nice toe into the race and he picked up well.”
