Tony McCoy has delivered a popular winner in the feature race on Ladies Day at the Galway Races.

The champion jockey helped 7-to-2 favourite Thomas Edison to the €150,000 first prize on offer in the Grade A, Guinness Galway Hurdle.

The Tony Martin-trained 7-year old surged clear of the rest of the field over the final hurdle to record an impressive win from Bayan and The Game Changer.

Earlier, the Corrib Fillies Stakes was won by the Johnny Murtagh-trained runner Dalkova at odds of 13-to-2

And the Guinness Novice Hurdle has produced another big win for the Gigginstown House operation as Desertmore Stream was a 3-to-1 winner for trainer Philip Fenton and jockey Brian O'Connell.
