Gear Up motors to Ballyroan success, as Cleveland books Melbourne spot
Leopardstown result ticks the boxes for Joseph O’Brien.
Gear Up led home a Joseph O’Brien-trained one-two in the Grant Thornton Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown. Ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle, the former Group One-winning juvenile got first run on Cleveland in the mile-and-a-half Group Three feature, holding him at bay by a neck. Winner of the Chester Cup for Aidan O’Brien, the latter was having his first run for his new yard. “It was a good, tough performance. He’s been improving with each run all year and I’d say that’s as good as he’s been all year,” said O’Brien of the 4-1 winner.A grandstand finish to the Group 3 @GrantThorntonIE Ballyroan Stakes @LeopardstownRC as Gear Up (4-1) bravely denies stablemate Cleveland by a neck 💥@JosephOBrien2 | @DylanBrowneMcM pic.twitter.com/KrWr8I65R3
