Sat 09 Sep 2008O'Brien unites all five Irish Classics
RACING: Aidan O'Brien has become the first trainer to win all five Irish Classics in one season since 1935 after Seamus Heffernan's and Septimus romped home in the Irish Field St Leger at the Curragh this afternoon, but the double was denied him 30 minutes earlier when Frankie Dettori and Conduit won the English equivalent.
O'Brien's Frozen Fire began firm favourite at Doncaster but Johnny Murtagh's mount was nowhere to be seen as Conduit finished three lengths ahead of Unsung Heroine, with Oaks winner Look Here a creditable third.
