Trapalanda was sent off 4/5 favourite (from 7/4 in the show) for the Eric Browne Memorial Maiden and landed the odds in good style under Gavin Ryan.

The homebred son of Decorated Knight, owned by Harry and Charlie O'Reilly, tracked the leaders and was sent for home entering the straight to beat Young Churchill by two-and-half-lengths.

Trainer Paul Fahey said: "We always knew he was a smart horse and Aaron (son) broke him, when he was a hardy horse. He is always going forward, is a nice horse and is out of a Lope De Vega winning mare and when you get them, they normally have plenty of will to win. 

"We don't know where we will go next but will be looking at some of the good handicaps next year.

"Anyone who ever rode him always liked him and I'd say there will be a big day and a good pot in him somewhere."
