Treble for O'Brien as Tigris gets the job done After winning the first two at the Curragh Tigris River provided his trainer Aidan O'Brien with an across the card treble as he took the Online Ticket Sales at corkracecourse.ie Hurdle. A convincing winner on his second start over flights at Galway earlier this month, the son of Montjeu was sent off the 2/5 favourite under Barry Geraghty in the colours of his boss JP McManus. Settled in third he came through to dispute the lead three out and was pushed out on the run-in to see off Moonmeister by a length and a quarter. Moonmeister was returned a 6/1 chance under Jack Kennedy for Gordon Elliott. Barry Geraghty said afterwards: "He jumped well and had a lot of speed up the straight. It can be a bit tricky here up the straight in a tactical race but he did it well. "He might improve over further." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
