San Salvador leads Joseph O’Brien double at Ballinrobe

Versatile veteran San Salvador defied top-weight in the featured Download The Tote App Handicap in Ballinrobe, providing the second leg of a double for Joseph O’Brien and stable-jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, who is now only five behind reigning champion Colin Keane (45-50) in the title race.

Last seen when running creditably in the Ascot Stakes, nine-year-old San Salvador tracked front-runner Cristal Clere before challenging on the approach to the straight and, in front inside the final furlong, stayed on to triumph by a length and three-quarters.
