Jockey Chris Hayes completed the full set of winners at Ireland's flat racecourses today, on Coeur D'or in Laytown's Pride Of Place Maiden, for trainer Dermot Weld.

The six year old Dubawi gelding was having just his seventh lifetime start, and in a first-time tongue-tie, battled well for a head win over Yester

Three of Hayes' four Classic wins have come for Weld, and the jockey reported “it was nice to do and I got plenty of advice on how to ride the track from Kevin Prendergast and the boss (Weld).

"I thought he had his chance, the boss has sweetened him up and has done a few things differently with him. We thought Laytown would spark a him into life, he probably wants to go a little bit further but he toughed it out well.

"They went quick and then steadied so I had to make a move after going two furlongs to get up behind the two leaders. I thought I was going to win a little better than I did but Colin's (Keane, on Yester) pulled out more so it was nice to get it."
