Racing:Gemstone (7-1) ran out a game winner of the Lanwades & Staffordshire Studs Stakes to complete a double for trainer Aidan O'Brien and jockey Johnny Murtagh at the Curragh.
The top team had taken the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maidenwith Petronius Maximus (7-2) and struck again in this Listed contest.
Murtagh sent Gemstone into the lead early in the straight after stablemate Luxurious had made the running and the Galileo filly kept on well to beat Rising Wind by a length and a quarter with Hurricane Havoc third.
O'Brien said: "That's a nice win to get for a Galileo filly - he is an unbelievable stallion. They don't know when to give up and she is tough and genuine.
"She won her maiden in Limerick and then disappointed before running well the last day. She is finished for the season now. She'll step-up in trip next season over a mile and a quarter plus."
James Nash's Luisant (3-1) gained a deserved success in the Jersey Racing Club Testimonial Stakes.
Only out of the first three once in his last 10 starts, the seven-year-old had nevertheless failed to get his head in front in that time.
Roger Charlton's Definightly looked to have everything covered with two furlongs to run but just behind Colm O'Donoghue could be spotted travelling ominously well and he quickened up to win by two and a half lengths.
"Thank God. I was very tempted to put blinkers on him but I was convinced he was genuine," said Nash.
"It just wasn't happening for him and he'll probably go for the Knockaire Stakes (October 31st) at Leopardstown next.
"He was very impressive there and it is great to win a Listed race with him. It is a joy to have him seconditis or no seconditis."
Smart apprentice Ben Curtis struck on the Aga Khan's Hazarafa (12-1) to lead a one-two for trainer John Oxx in the Go Racing In Kildare Festival Finale Stakes.
Stable jockey Fran Berry tried to take the sting out of the opposition on Roses For The Lady but was outpointed in the final furlong by Hazarafa, who went on to win by a length and three-quarters.
Oxx said: "I suspect she'll go home tomorrow though you never know, there could be something abroad for her.
"She had a promising first run before disappointing a bit though that was on fast ground. She likes the soft, stays well and she has done her mission now.
"Roses For The Lady has run her last race and she ran well there on ground that wasn't quite soft enough for her. She has won a Listed race and she'll go to stud now too."
