His brother Peter had been on the mark earlier on the card with Deputy Marshall and Jarlath Fahey got in on the act at Galway as his good mare Jennies Jewel bossed things throughout in the www.swordsecurity.com (Q.R.) Race.

The John O'Neill-partnered Jennies Jewel was joined over three fulongs out by Do Try Dolly (trained by another brother of Jarlath's, Paul).

However the 11/4 winner asserted in the straight for an eight length win, with 8/13 favourite Good Tradition floundering four and three parts of a length back in third.

"We knew there'd be no pace in the race so we said we'd do the donkey work. She's as genuine as they come and kept galloping and finding," said Jarlath Fahey.

"She has been a great mare and this will probably be her last season as she'll be covered in the spring. She definitely won't run again over fences and I'll speak to the owner but she could have another hurdle run or two.

"John (O'Neill) rides work and point-to-pointers for me and that's our first winner together although he has ridden a winner for my brother Peter."
