In-form Pat Flynn saddled three runners in the Seamus Weldon Handicap at Killarney last night and victory went to the stable selected, Queen Of Fibres (Declan McDonogh).

The 8 to 1 shot stuck to her task well under a determined drive to just hold off favourite Final Reminder (Eddie Ahern) in a tremendous finish. However, there was a sting in the tail for both riders when thay were each handed a three-day ban (May 24th-26th) for using their whips with excessive frequency.

"The only place the owner wanted to win was here in Killarney," said Jessica Harrington after Courageous and Barry Geraghty carried the colours of Dublin publican David Lavin to success in the second division of the maiden hurdle.

Tony Mullins saddled the winner of the first division when Leopard Rock, a full brother to stable-companion The Bongo Man, arrived full of running for Charlie Swan to head Bob What over the final flight on his way to victory. Mullins also went on to land the bumper with newcomer The Baltimore Man providing Pat Murphy with his first success in the plate.
