Christy Roche completed a remarkable Killarney when Citizen Kane won the Dawn Fresh Maiden yesterday and gave the season's leading rider a fantastic festival clean sweep. Citizen Kane was Roche's seventh and last ride over the four days and the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt made it seven winners out of seven by beating Master Cooper and Renge with the favourite, Manarah, eventually trotting past the line a distant last.

"Is there any chance we can keep racing here for a couple of months?" joked Roche as there was a scramble to check the six-times champion jockey's rides at Leopardstown tomorrow where he will attempt to continue his winning streak.

Citizen Kane was the first leg of an Aidan O'Brien double that was completed by Rainbow Frontier in the three runner Dawn Milk Run Handicap. That brought O'Brien's Killarney total to eight and only emphasises the dominant season that the Ballydoyle trainer is having.

Willie Mullins, however, made sure of his own impact by saddling the first two in the Kerry Spring Water Handicap Hurdle. David Casey on Zacaponi and Richard Dunwoody on Welsh Grit fought out a stirring finish with Casey just getting back up to win by a short head and then survive a stewards inquiry into possible interference to his stablemate before the second last. Dunwoody came out best in another tight finish to the Dawn Fresh Hurdle as One More Spin just came out best in a four-pronged drive to the line and Charlie Swan was decisiveness itself in powering Dovaly to a front-running head defeat of Alambar.

David Mason rode his second winner in two days when Far Niente made her last race for trainer Eddie Lynam a successful one in the Low Low Handicap. Far Niente has been sold to race abroad but there was a sting in her departing tail as Mason collected a two-day ban from the stewards for careless riding in the race.

The festival closed on a shock note when the complete outsider Anjilore proved too strong for the odds on Legal Storm in the Aghadoe Flat Race.
