Gold Dancer reels in stablemate Westport Cove for Galway glory
Westport Cove was the 85-40 favourite for the Grade Three contest having opened his account over fences at Ballinrobe in late May and looked in control for much of the way under Paul Townend. He still appeared the most likely winner after kicking clear of the faltering Pied Piper from the home turn, but the seven-year-old began to tire in the straight and Sean O'Keeffe produced 7-1 shot Gold Dancer with a well-timed challenge up the hill to emerge victorious by two and a half lengths. Trainer Willie Mullins said: 'Of my runners I thought Westport Cove would win, but Gold Dancer is by Doctor Dino, who is a horse we like, and Sean gave him a lovely cute ride. He let Paul do all the donkey work, had one crack at him and it all worked out 'Westport Cove basically races flat out so you just try to get a breather into him and while Paul thought he had enough breathers got, Gold Dancer is just improving. There is probably more improvement in him that the other horses we ran in the race. 'Today was the first time he showed me on the racecourse what we thought and think of him at home. We'll go down the novice chase route with him now at the big festivals and hopefully he is good enough to go on to the Drinmore (at Fairyhouse) in December.' British raider Tropical Island caused a 40-1 upset in the big Flat race of the afternoon – the Arthur Guinness Irish EBF Corrib Fillies Stakes under Luke McAteer. Richard Fahey's charge was well beaten on her most recent appearance at Pontefract, but was soon in front in this Listed event and had just enough in reserve to repel the fast-finishing Princess Child and Easy Mover in a thrilling three-way finish. 'They told me she'd stay and she stays bang on seven furlongs. The owners were adamant to keep her going, don't let up (in front) and turning in she was pricking her ears and looking up at the stands, but she stuck at it well,' said McAteer. 'I knew I had Gavin (Ryan, on Easy Mover) beaten but thought Declan (McDonogh, on Princess Child) had done me at the line, but it was great to hold on. 'I spoke to Richard (Fahey) on the phone and he said to do as the owners wanted so I didn't look back and she duly obliged. They wanted black type so it is great. 'That's my first ride for Richard, I know the owners and they put me forward for the ride. The owners are from around Kilkenny and this is brilliant.'

"Delighted to have Chris Eubank arrive at the airport earlier today." Eubank is well known to boxing fans for a number of reasons. During the 90's, he was one of the biggest stars in the sport, holding World titles at both middleweight and super-middleweight. He was a part of some of the biggest fights in the history of British boxing and enjoyed an epic rivalry with Nigel Benn. That rivalry was reignited earlier this year when their sons - Chris Jr and Conor faced off in a massive clash at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, a bout which Eubank Jr won to take the Eubank v Benn family series to two victories for the Eubanks and one draw. Eubank Sr also has a proud history of fighting in Ireland, twice taking on Steve Collins in losing efforts for the Super Middleweight title, The second of those fights took place at Pairc Uí Chaoimh and to this day remains arguably the biggest fight to ever take place in Ireland.

'My beautiful, wildly intelligent and annoyingly driven sister died, and I'm heartbroken,' she captioned a carousel of pictures shared to Instagram. 'Ní chreidim é fós. Growing up, we were never without each other. In our teenage years, we absolutely killed each other – as sisters do. 'As adults, we accepted each other for exactly who we are and I'm so proud of everything she achieved in her too-short life." 'My family and I can't thank everyone enough for the support we've received since. The sandwiches, lasagnas, cakes. The chats, hugs, stories, touches of hands,' she continued. 'We have the most amazing network of friends, neighbours, colleagues and of course family. 'Go raibh míle maith agaibh. We've been blown away and so sincerely touched by the kindness of people. 'It reminds me of white blood cells, rushing to fight off infection. Community, rushing to help ease the pain,' she added. 'Now, we face a new normal without her. But she'll be with me – like a handprint on my heart. It'll never not be; Úna agus Síomha.' Úna passed away unexpectedly at her home in London on April 20. 'A beloved daughter of Damhnait and Dermot and dear sister to Síomha, Aedín and her brother-in-law Cathal,' her death notice reads. 'Úna's passing is a huge loss to the family. Deeply regretted by her wider family; aunts, uncles, cousins and her good friends in both the UK and Ireland.' Her funeral was held at St. Patrick's Church, in Esker, Lucan followed by burial in Esker Lawn Cemetery, Lucan. Tributes poured in, remembering her as bright, clever and funny. 'What a beautiful tribute to Úna, one of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever been fortunate enough to know,' one school friend shared. 'When I remember her, I remember us singing songs from Wicked and Hairspray in the hallways of Coláiste Cois Life. She was never without a song. My utmost sympathies to her family and love from Germany.'
