Dylan Thomas was beaten in his last outing at York in August
|
Dylan Thomas secured a second successive Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes in impressive fashion at Leopardstown on Saturday.
The 15-8 on favourite was followed home by stablemates Duke Of Marmalade and Red Rock Canyon in a famous 1-2-3 for Ballydoyle trainer Aidan O'Brien.
The win was Dylan Thomas' fifth Group One victory.
The colt secured yet another triumph at the highest level in the hands of Kieren Fallon.
Dual Guineas winner Finsceal Beo was not a factor as Dylan Thomas produced a devastating turn to speed in the final two furlongs to claim a two-length success.
Finsceal Beo, who was looking to add to her successes earlier this year in the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas, was tackling the mile-and-a-quarter trip for the first time.
Dylan Thomas had beaten Ouija Board in a thrilling battle in last year's race.
