Royal Dornoch Wins 180th Book 1 Bonus and Earns 45,690 Euros

The Aidan O'Brien-trained ROYAL DORNOCH became the 180th winner of a Tattersalls October £25,000 Book 1 Bonus when taking out the Irish EBF Supporting Irish Champions Weekend Maiden at Gowran Park this afternoon. Placed third in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood last month, the son of GLENEAGLES earned a total of 45,690 euros following his maiden win for owners Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Mrs John Magnier. Withdrawn from Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, the half-brother to German Classic winner HAWKSMOOR was offered at the December Yearling Sale by Barronstown Stud where he was purchased by Amanda Skiffington for 240,000 guineas.
