Joseph O'Brien followed up yesterday's Group 1 Saint-Cloud success with a Galway four-timer today as Dollerina (13/8f) landed the Corrib Food Products Maiden, to give stable jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle a treble.

Dollerina, a daughter of Territories, had previously gained a Group 3 placing in France last October and today, on her first run since April, won readily beating Storm Averted by four-and-a-half lengths.

O'Brien, who landed April's Punchestown Champion Chase and three Group 1s this summer including yesterday's Criterium de Saint-Cloud with Tennessee Stud, had won today's opener with Annie's Angel before the Browne McMonagle-partnered Tribal Nation and Source Code added to his haul.

Browne McMonagle reported “Dollerina deserved that one, she was fresh today and handled the ground well. I was always very comfortable and she won well.

“She has always been a really nice filly but had been unlucky to bump into a couple of nice ones all along. She had been very competitive in Group races as a two-year-old so it was surprising it took her this long to win but thankfully she has that under her belt now.”
