Jaytee Jet (Droopys Scolari-Chin Gach Gook, Sep 13) was a worthy winner of the €25,000 Ladbrokes Easter Cup at Shelbourne Park.
The race would be dominated by a trio of runners who met in the same semi last weekend. On that occasion, Skywalker Rory had his progress impeded by Lenson Sanchez, but this time the black jacketed runner had every chance. He led to the bend with Jet on his outside and the Paul Hennessy trained runner took up the running at the second turn.
The John Turner owned Jet then pulled away for a 29.45 two and a half length victory.

On the same card there were victories for three members of the same Brett Lee/Kildallon Maid litter. ‘Slippys’ Thelma, Louise and Hector won in respective times of 28.81 (525), 29.99 & 29.76 (550). The trio are June pups and from a repeat mating to the cross which produced Ballydoyle Honey.
