Tralee report: Tom Hogan had the biggest win of his training career on the Flat at Tralee yesterday (his 13th of the 2005 campaign) when Common World landed the Listed Carlsberg Ruby Stakes.

Seamie Heffernan had to drive his mount along in rear before halfway, but he soon got into gear, leading a furlong and a half down to hold off Queen Titi by a length. The latter's rider, Colm O'Donoghue, got a three-day ban for hampering fourth placed Yaria. Owned by deputy editor of the Irish Field Mark Costello's wife, Teresa, the chestnut was described by his handler as a very healthy horse.

Heffernan came in for praise from Hogan, describing it as a "brilliant ride", and the injured Fran Berry (he won on the horse at Cork) was also in the Nenagh man's thoughts.

Unlucky in running when second in the Guinness Gold Cup with Valentina Guest last year, Peter Casey went one better in the 2005 renewal with Blessyourpinksox. Deputising for the injured Christy Geoghegan, who broke his collarbone in a fall from Sunny Lady on Tuesday, Chris Hayes lost his whip when he took over under one furlong out, but the filly kept going well to beat front-running Noend by a neck.

Casey said Hayes gave the 14 to 1 chance "a fabulous ride". The gambled-on Good Surprise finished fifth.

Gortinard had 7lb extra to carry as a result of his first victory over fences at the course on Monday, but that proved no inconvenience to Davy Russell's mount. When Galway Hurdle hero More Rainbows fell five out, he badly interfered with Gortinard, but Russell rousted the seven-year-old to the front three out and he overcame a slight mistake at the last.

Unlike Miss Mambo in the previous event (7 to 4 from 9 to 4, finished sixth), the Charles Byrnes-trained runner did lighten layers satchels.

A malfunction saw Rangoon and Kilmannin left in the stalls at the start of the mile handicap. The runners were eventually despatched by flag, following two more false starts, 11 minutes after the original off. The race was won by Loblolly Bay.
