Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien lost out in the opening heat at Dundalk when Duplication went down by a neck. The brothers capped off the night with a success when Song Of Love led them home in the Fund Raising Made Easy At Dundalk Handicap.
O'Brien also sent out Way To My Heart (10th under Connor King) and Murmuring (13th for Ana O'Brien) in this mile and a half heat.
There was no living with 12/1 shot Song Of My Heart in the closing stages though, as he finished off sufficiently well to get the better of Zanjabeel by a neck.
"They went quick in front of me and the gaps opened when I wanted them to. It worked out well," said Donnacha O'Brien.
"It looked like an extra two furlongs would help him, last time, and it turned out that it did."
