Their Donnchadh Doyle-trained Black Sam Bellamy newcomer, Dashing Lady was in possession of a two length lead, going best, when crashing out at the final obstacle.

It's an ill wind that blows no good though and the grateful recipient of Dashing Lady's misfortune was Pat Fahy's Treacy's Star. She supplied her rider, Martin Molloy, a twenty-year-old from Carnew, County Wicklow, with his first winner in the plate.

Tynan and Kearns had the market-leading, Lily Of Killarney in the next. However she didn't measure up to expectations behind fellow Wexford raider, Vinnieslittle Lamb (Derek O'Connor up for handler Sean Finn).

John Thomas McNamara had a brace on the nine race card, on the Shark Hanlon's Rare Legend and on Sophies Shadow (a first winner for John Dwyer, an owner/trainer based in Dundrum, County Tipperary).

Handler Paul O'Flynn, an All-Ireland winning Cork footballer in 2010, had a double also, with Ciaran Fennessy, courtesy of Quarryking and Nevskij.

Mikey O'Connor got on the score-sheet aboard Louis Archdeacon's Oscar Fortune whilst the other couple of winners were Henry de Bromhead's Never Complain (Paul Power up) and The Blarney Rose (Eugene O'Sullivan & Brendan Crowley). (EM)
