Dylan Browne McMonagle had another fine weekend in the saddle.

With the curtain starting to drop on the domestic racing scene, the Letterkenny jockey took first on 3/5 favourite Tennessee Stud at Saint-Cloud, Paris.

Speaking after, owner Joseph O’Brien had special praise for both Browne McMonagle and his Tennessee Stud.

"Dylan gave him a fantastic ride. He said he was really struggling on that ground and never felt comfortable at any stage.

“I think it's quite heavy there. It's testament to his attitude he was able to fight and fight and still win at the line.

"He's very big and I expect him to be better as a three-year-old. He'll have a break and will be trained now with the Derby at Epsom being his target. He could run in one or two trial races."

Browne McMonagle also secured a third place finish on 10/1 Apples and Bananas the same afternoon.
