O'BRIEN'S DOMINATE

Cool family day out at Curragh

- PETER O'HEHIR

ON a day dominated by the O'Briens, Joseph registered a group-race double at the Curragh, highlighted by the gutsy, all-the-way victory of Visualisation in the Coolmore sponsored, Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes.

Having his third run of the season, 12/1 shot Visualisation, ridden by Declan McDonogh, reversed last year's form with runner-up Layfayette to the tune of a length and a half, with Piz Badile third and 10/11 favourite Luxembourg a disappointing fifth, having encountered some interference in the straight.

O'Brien said: "Declan gave him a great ride - he felt he kicked a bit early the last day (in the Alleged) and was determined to wait a bit longer this time.
