The Gold Cup at Shelbourne offered some break from an otherwise fairly mundane week in Irish racing with slow circuits and blank meetings.
Quickest on the clock at Shelbourne was the seasoned pro Ballymac Anton with a 28.18 run for the 525 yards.
The only other performance of exceptional note was 19 month old Gonzo with a 28.88 run at Youghal, when the next fastest time of the week was 29.35.
