Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen dominated the meeting at Gowran Park with a four-timer that included the victory of Windsor Park in the www.gowranpark.ie For Best Offers Race.
Back on the level after his victory in the Neptune Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Windsor Park was sent off the 3-10 favourite against six opponents and was pushed straight into the lead in the one and three-quarter mile contest.
Smullen kept him up to his work all the way up the straight and the six-year-old was not unduly troubled to hold off the attentions of Shu Lewis by a length and a quarter, with another length and three-quarters to Dark Crusader in third place.
The duo kickstarted their four-timer when Joailliere showed her class in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
The 2-5 favourite, who holds entries in both the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Irish Oaks, was travelling very easily entering the straight and quickened clear under Smullen, who eased her down well before the line to record a seven-length success.
Another smart newcomer gave Weld and Smullen their second winner as 6-4 favourite Serefeli found most in the closing stages to land the Societies Welcome At Gowran Park Golf Club Maiden by half a length.< Edelpour (11-8 favourite) made it three for the team with a gutsy display in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, sticking to his guns well to prevail by two and a quarter lengths after looking a sitting duck when King Of Aragon swept into contention on the home turn.
Jim Bolger had been forced to settle for second in the first two races, but he got on the scoreboard when Ringside Humour (8-1) produced a stunning late charge under Kevin Manning to land the Ladies Day June 20th Handicap.
Noel Dooly's Rockview Emperor (16-1) grabbed his first win for almost two years when finishing well to land the Racings Best Offer 19 Euros Silver Package Handicap, while the Family Fun Day June 21st Apprentice Handicap went to Tom Cleary's 11-2 chance Dancingwithangels
