Aidan O'Brien's son Joseph, rode a winner on only his second ever ride in public tonight at Leopardstown.

He could well be a lad to watch over the summer months. Looks like he'll be well worth his claim given his polished riding tonight.

Will run a good first half of the race, then will get leggy and lame in the middle but should come back stong at the end.
