DERMOT WELD and Pat Smullen crowned another day to remember at Leopardstown this season when Carribean Sunset landed the supporting 1,000 Guineas Trial to complete anear 123-1 treble on the day.

The 9-2 chance, successful here last month when defeating Halfway To Heaven and subsequent Newmarket 1,000 Guineas third Saoirse Abu, swept to the front at the distance and pulled out plenty under pressure to hold the staying on Katiyra by half-a-length. Pat Martin's Indiana Gal finished a creditable length-and-a-half back in third.

“These are important ones to win,” said Weld, referring also to the Derby Trial he won earlier with Casual Conquest. “She's very game,very brave, very tough and she's getting better. She had to battle there again but she had the form to win. She'll go for the Irish 1,000 Guineas next.”
