Harrion's Cave brings O'Brien's treble up Harrison’s Cave forged clear under Joseph O’Brien in the final furlong of the concluding one mile two furlong maiden at the Curragh to win by two lengths at 5/1. The son of Galileo beat a field of 23 maidens. He was 10/1 in the morning and was further backed in from an opening show of 7/1. The three-year-old shed his maiden tag at the 10th time of asking. Smithfield for Noel Meade and Shane Foley finished second at 8/1 while market drifter Ansaab (5/2 in the morning out to an SP of 5/1) came home third a further two-and-a-half-lengths back. “Joseph thinks he will stay a lot further. I was worried about the ground as he is a good moving horse, but he is a Galileo and they don’t know when to give up,” Aidan O’Brien said. “He’s a tough, consistent and sound horse and he goes on this ground obviously.” Eva's Time was sent off the 4/1 favourite for Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen, however, she finished sixth.
