Third season runner Curious Boy set the fastest time in the first round of the 2016 Irish Laurels at Cork.

Ger Holian’s black, who broke the Tralee 525 track record last month in 28.05, covered the Curraheen Park equivalent in 28.16 when beating Riverside Oscar. On a bad night for punters, there was only one winning favourite from the 12 heats.
